❔ Is building a DM/messaging system as simple as it seems?
With signalr, that is.
Is it as simple as just setting up signalr and persisting messages and then reading the messages every time the message window is opened? Or am I missing something?

anything really important to think about when doing this?
or should i use something that already exists instead of rolling my own?

@TeBeCloneAlright, interesting. Well, it's not a chat app, it's a messaging system within a booking website. So ideally it sohuldnt take months to build...
so i thought I might only need the bare minimum. but it seems like a lot. are there any third party services for dotnet that already handles all this for me which can be easily integrated? like with stripe

yes, i understand. but im also wondering if everyone handrolls this for their ecommerce/booking sites or if there's some third party library i can use
like with stripe

but with persistence it seems simple enough if the user has to be logged in? you just persist the message in the db between user X and user Y, and then ordering shouldn't be a problem, no?
this would be true regardless if they're on a phone or pc
