Update Anonymous Chat Room UI to Use Unique User Names

HarshJX commented 1 month ago

Description

The current implementation of the anonymous chat room uses the same name for all users, which diminishes the user experience. We need to update the UI to assign unique, random names to different users that join the room.

Requirements

Generate a random unique name for each user upon joining the chat room.
Ensure that names are displayed correctly in the chat UI.
Maintain the anonymous aspect of the chat while providing users with unique identifiers.

Suggested Implementation

Create a function to generate random names.
Update the user join event to assign a random name.
Modify the UI to reflect the new names.

Additional Notes

Consider using a predefined list of names for variety.
Ensure names are not offensive or inappropriate.

Hey HarshJX, unique usernames for the chat is a great idea! Quick thought - what if we added fun avatars to go with the names? Like randomly generated animal or robot icons. Could really help users track convos. I've done similar stuff before and would be happy to mock up some designs or help code it. Let me know if you want to brainstorm more on this!

Heyy Ninja Thanks for the suggestion!

Love the idea of adding pictures - it would make chats more fun and easy to follow.
How could we create these quickly without slowing things down? And how many different pictures do you think we'd need
Lets discuss this things on our discord channel Your experience here could be really helpful.
