Building a mobile app + chat + push notifications
Hi folks,
Got a project in my mind which I've been discussing with my programmers, and sharing ideas.
What's your idea, as to software to be used for:
A mobile App that has real time chat, private messages and public channels, and push notifications?
Cheers

You mean IRC, right? ;-)
Nah, need to have statistics, etc... IRC is lightweight, but lacks a lot of features :-(.
This'll have facebook login/register, multiple channels, etc.
Right idea for the right time:
Location based for Pokemon Go teams to communicate about gym status, etc.
Move fast and you'll succeed.
Heheheh jar, not related to Pokemon Go.
I own a big group in FB, which is related to festivals. I'm going to create more groups for other festivais and build an app where they can all communicate, all events published there will have their own chatroom, ability to add friends, etc.
So, I've worked in companies with chats and push notifications. It's a huge infrastructure, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, etc etc... All coded. I need to gather opinions about this.
I've already seen them popup in the Play store

So you want to build Slack?
@MrGeneral its not worth to build something that already exists. There is facebook that covers the chat.
Yeah, that market seems to be pretty saturated right now from commercial offerings (Slack, Hipchat) to open source solutions. You'd need a true differentiator to make it worthwhile in my opinion.
Software? well you have programmers so get them to slap this together in node.js and any ios/android sdk and you are all set.
And.. your "programmers" should really know about how to create this, unless very inexperienced... no offense, but this is 2016 not 2006.
He considers himself "experienced", and then cries in public about not being paid when he couldn't complete a task. (He tried go bill the dude for the hours spent LOL) like what I could spend 50 hours trying to build a full blown application in prolog and I wouldn't get anywhere becausei don't know how to... Does that mean I get to charge for the time I spent trying?
He claims he has a company that focuses on ______, _______, ______, ________ etc... Yet he goes on and on asking basic questions on LET better suited for his " experienced team"
Tldr: you're talking to el cheapo

Completely different scenarios, you know full well that a long project involves milestones so the same wouldn't happen, not to mention a down payment should be taken beforehand.
In Miguel's defence, @cociu's employee (engineer) had exhausted all his possible options meaning it was a gamble even involving a third party and expecting a successful result.
we still enterain this guy? dayum
You are looking for xmpp or more specifically smack for android,,, knock me if you need any help
Dont want to let my Android get hooked on smack.
Thank you for the suggestions folks!
As for the bashing... I really don't have time for kids nor for people who have way too much time to spend...
This is BUSINESS.
Nah, not trying to copy facebook. It's not even a social network,
it's something way different.
You can use pure web stack to achieve this. For example react native + redux + websocket
Thanks Eric! I'll check it out tomorrow!
Telegram also exists.
Not going to be a good investment if you ask me.
It's not related, not even close... Of course I'm not going to disclose the full idea here!
