Hi everyone 🙂
I just released a new video on my channel. Learn how to build a simple realtime chat application using Django, Web sockets, Channels and Redis. Messages are stored in a database, so it's even possible to see old messages.

  9. Channels is amazing but The problem right know with the channels and redis for chat app is DEPENDENCIES HELL.

    Execute the command :
    $pip freeze
    And you’ll see what I’m talking about.

    I found it too much for a simple chat app. And as long as there’s not a way of decrease that. I stick to Ajax to grab messages.

    Thank’s for the project though. I’m a subscriber to your code with Stein channel.
