📌 ZeenChat Development Roadmap

🚀 Welcome to ZeenChat! A lightweight, open-source chat application built with Django Channels & WebSockets. This page outlines our development plan and how you can contribute.

📅 Development Roadmap

🛠️ Phase 1: Essential Features (In Progress)

We are currently working on implementing core features to make ZeenChat more secure, user-friendly, and scalable.

✅ End-to-End Encryption – Secure private conversations with strong encryption.
✅ Friend Requests System – Allow users to add and chat with friends.
✅ Alternative to Redis – Explore solutions for those who can't use Redis for WebSockets.
✅ Email Verification – Secure user registration with email confirmation.
✅ Media File Support – Enable sending images, videos, and files.
✅ Better UI & UX – Improve design for a modern, intuitive experience.

🧪 Phase 2: Community Testing

Once the essential features are implemented, we will invite the open-source community to test ZeenChat:
🔹 Identify and fix bugs
🔹 Gather feedback on usability
🔹 Optimize performance

🚀 Phase 3: Deployment for the World

After testing and improvements, we will officially deploy ZeenChat for public use.
🌍 Open-source contributors will always be welcome to improve and expand the project!
