Syncora is a modern, collaborative productivity platform that unifies real‑time communication and team workflows into a single ecosystem. It brings together chat, voice/video calls, notes, tasks, whiteboard, contacts, subscriptions, and email—powered by a robust Spring Boot backend and a high‑performance React + TypeScript frontend.

⚡ Fast developer setup · Clear environment configuration · Production‑ready architecture

Syncora is designed for teams that need real‑time collaboration without context switching. The platform combines synchronous communication (chat, voice, video, whiteboard) with asynchronous productivity tools (notes, tasks, email, subscriptions) in a single, scalable system.

The architecture follows a clean separation of concerns:

• Backend: Spring Boot REST APIs, WebSockets, SQL schema management, optional HTTPS
• Frontend: React SPA with Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and context‑driven state management

• Real‑time Chat: Ably-Based chat messaging with low latency
• Voice Calls: One‑to‑one voice communication using Ably signaling
• Video Conferencing: Live video calls via ZegoCloud SDK
• Notes & Tasks: Personal and shared productivity modules
• Whiteboard: Collaborative drawing and ideation (Excalidraw‑style UX)
• Contacts: Team member management and invitations
• Subscriptions: Plan management and usage tracking
• Email Module: Schema‑backed email functionality
