BRIEF Functionality

Main Page

1. The user on logging in should see the channels he/she is a part of. The channel that the user participates in the most should appear at the top. On selecting a particular channel, he should be able to view the posts put on that channel and also create a post in that channel. The messages should appear in a lazy loaded fashion rather than all the messages at once. The user should also be able to search a post on the basis of its content.

2. The user should also see a button to create a new channel. Using this button, he/she can create a new channel and invite other users to join this.

3. The user interface of the app should be minimalistic and implemented in such a way that the clicks are minimised.
