Chat
Connor O'Doherty
Many consumer facing products rely heavily on in-app chat functionality.
Unfortunately, the only options for in-app chat within a managed Expo client are:
* Completely roll your own
* Display a web product in a WebView, detect new messages, and send push notifications to the user through Expo Push
* Eject from Expo and use something like Twilio React Native
None of these are as appealing as a Expo plugin that handles push notifications and UX
