Components
The application of fire base chat demo is an application that allows users to send and receive messages in real time between registered users using the services offered by fire base. The app also integrates push notifications provided by firebase cloud messanging.
Proposal
I'll be making 2 important suggestions that should be added to the fire base chat demo..
The first one is the popup notification, i propose that the developers of this application should take this feature into consideration and make it possible as it will help users get the chat popup and come up their screen whenever they received a message.
Making it possible for users to be able to view the profile page of other users on Global Room..
Mockups / Examples
Screenshot showing how this features will look like..
This is how the messages should pop up on screen when a user has a message and he is not on the chat app..(see picture)
A user can view another user's profile on Global room when pressing and hold the user icon (See picture)
When you press and hold an icon will pop up with the view profile feature, then you click to view the user profile. (see picture)
Benefits
Inclusion of the ''popup'' feature will make the app more smart as it will make it easy for the users to receive, view and reply to their messages to Fire base chat without going through the stress of having to open the application first before they can reply.
The feature will help identify other users easily when the @ message you in the room, without going through the stress of searching them on the users page. It will help the user know who he or she is talking to.
