####Example Screenshot: ####Current status:

• Displays clickable rooms
• Implements New Room function
• Clicking on a room displays chats for it
• Efficient database structure that implements quick interrupt-driven updates via callbacks from Firebase, without polling.
• Strictly follows the Flux methodology. All database changes are done by Stores - no bypassing the Stores.
• Encapsulates all Firebase API calls to enable simple swap with a different DB.

####Next steps:

• Now that the basic Room and database plumbing is in place, implement the actual functionality that lets the user append chats to a room.
• Add the ability to delete a Room.
• Add the ability to see unread chat count per room (the existing database design supports this).

####Installation:

git clone https://github.com/rmcgarity/flux-chat.git
