Yet Another Slack Clone is the result of my first foray into full-stack development. About a month into my new career I decided to make a functional replica of Slack (called slacc), because I loved their system architecture and was fascinated by the problem that they try to solve. Of course, I failed out the gate, stumbling on basic authentication issues. 6 months later, however, I had undergone an intensive software development bootcamp, and I was ready to tackle the task at hand.
