## What it is
FriendZone is a full-stack realtime messaging chat application built with Next.js 13 and TypeScript. It supports realtime messaging, friend requests via email, Google authentication, and Redis-backed performant queries.

- you are learning modern full-stack Next.js development
- you need a starting point for a messaging feature with auth and friends

## When to avoid

- you need a maintained library or SDK rather than a demo app
