Can i build chat app like telegram with convex, because it realtime update?

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

Yes, you can build a real-time chat application using Convex. Convex provides a backend application platform with features such as cloud functions, a database, file storage, scheduling, search, and real-time updates, which are essential for building a chat application.

For instance, you can refer to the React Native Realtime Chat (https://stack.convex.dev/react-native-realtime-chat-expo) tutorial which provides a step-by-step guide on how to build a chat application using Convex. The tutorial covers various aspects such as setting up Convex, implementing group routing, creating a new chat group, implementing chat with React Native, building the chat message view, uploading files to Convex, and using Convex actions.

Additionally, there is a full-stack chat app (https://stack.convex.dev/full-stack-chatgpt-app) tutorial that uses React and Vite for the frontend and Convex as the backend. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on how to build the chat app, and the code for the app is available on GitHub.

Remember, while Convex provides the backend infrastructure and real-time updates, you would still need to design and implement the frontend of the chat application to resemble Telegram or any other specific design you have in mind.
