Socket Chat

This Turbo repo contains both the client and server components for the socket chat application. The client is a basic UI written in Next.js with shadcn components and deployed on Vercel. The backend is a simple Socket IO server which handles bidirectional communication and is deployed on a DigitalOcean droplet. The database is deployed on NeonDB and the app is using Prisma ORM to communicate with the DB. The app uses next-auth for authentication.
