• TypeScript: For type safety and better developer experience.
• Axios: For HTTP requests to interact with the backend.
• React Router DOM: For routing.
• Socket.IO Client: For real-time web socket communications.

Backend

• Express: Web server framework.
• MongoDB with Mongoose: For the database and data modeling.
• JWT: For secure authentication.
• Socket.IO: For real-time communication between clients and server.
