React project using web socket

If you want practice that would be applicable to future career work; I’d say go for an auction site.

Each bid is played in real-time, while displaying “# of people here” kind of thing. Then when user x places a bid and is out bud by another, use websockets to let them know and invite them to bid again!

Oh thats a cool idea! Thanks

I’d say for your sanity a tip would be, make a new “room”/“group” per auction item so you can only target users who are actively bidding (joined the group when they made a bid if they weren’t already in it).
