General Thoughts

This exercise was very fun and was a great opportunity for me to dust off my Typescript knowledge. I tried to meet as much of the brief as possible, I didn't get to the part where a user could read the messages sent to them. I was going to use Sqlite as a database solution but thought it might be fun to just play around with node localstorage, although I would never do that in a production application. The crypto solution I used was crypto since it now comes with Node. I added a simple unit test using Jest and also brought out the crypto key into a .env variable so it wouldn't be publically shared in the repo.
