Discord Clone using NextJS, TailwindCSS, and Stream

This repository accompanies the series of blog posts published on the Stream Blog about creating a Discord clone using NextJS, TailwindCSS, and the Stream Chat and Video SDKs.

The series will have five posts at the end (we'll have the links updated once they are published):

• Part 1: Setup Project
• Part 2: General Layout and Server List
• Part 3: Channel List UI (coming soon)
• Part 4: Message List UI
• Part 5: Adding video and audio calling
