💩 Crapper Yapper 🚽

The crappiest chat app known to man!

A Node.js & Firebase webapp submitted to the 2017 Stupid Hackathon!

Write your message in English and have it converted to Morse Code using 💩 and 🚽 emojis. Within each word, the letters are seperated with a 💥. And anything that is not a letter (spaces, numbers, ?, !, etc) are shown normally.

And yes, sound effects are included!

Please check out the deployed version in Heroku here!

Functionality

On the backend, the app uses Express to serve routes.

On the frontend, the app uses Handlebars for templating and Bootstrap as a styling framework. The app also uses jQuery and the Firebase API to make for instant messaging.

An example translation of aye! becomes 💩 🚽 💥 🚽 💩 🚽 🚽 💥 💩 💥 !

💩 = dot

🚽 = dash

💥 = pause between letters
