Duckly - Private Messaging Application

Duckly is a Progressive Web App (PWA) for private messaging designed exclusively for couples who want to keep their communication and memories in a safe and intimate space. The platform combines real-time chat functionality with unique tools for creating and organizing shared memories: Duckly Moments for photo/video galleries organized in folders, Duck Schedule for planning events, and Quack Compass for marking special locations on a map with images and descriptions.
