Live Messaging (Instant)
A seamless messaging experience is the backbone of any thriving online community. It empowers members to connect meaningfully, whether through one-on-one chats or dynamic group conversations. When designing a live messaging feature, here are some key capabilities to consider: • File Sharing: Easily send files like images, PDFs, and more. • Real-Time Indicators: Show who’s online, typing, or has read messages. • Group Conversations: Facilitate engaging group discussions. • Reliable Notifications: Ensure users stay informed and engaged. Drawing from my experience with BuddyBoss, I can share valuable insights into their Live Messaging feature and its integration with Pusher Channels. For context, the Pusher Channels free plan offers: • Up to 200,000 messages per day • Support for 100 concurrent connections To provide inspiration and a clearer picture, I’ve attached screenshots from both BuddyBoss and the Pusher Channels website. These examples can help guide your approach to building a vibrant and connected community.
