Hey Connor,

Great work on your design documents so far. Your MVP timeline looks great - just a few preliminary comments on your schema:

• I don't think we need a channel_messages joins table, as messages will never be broadcast to more than one channel. Instead, you can add a foreign key to the messages table to connect it to a particular channel.
• While DM's can be easily implemented as private channels, I think it would make more sense to consign them to a distinct table (there are several key differences between channels and direct messages that might warrant separate tables). This would require a polymorphic association between messages & channels/DMs. Let's discuss when we sit down to go over your proposal.
• Re: your note on the channel_users table - this will definitely be necessary, as even if all workspace users have access to all public channels, they don't receive active notifications for all of those channels unless they have joined them.

Let me know if you have questions!

• Logged in users can have their messages added to the chat window in "real time" over websocket connection to proper channels
• Messages are persisted to the database in proper channels
• CRUD actions for messages now broadcast in realtime to all subscribers of channel
• Channels can be created and deleted by their creators
• Messages are pulled from database 25 at a time starting with 25 most recent each time user scrolls to top of page ('infinite scroll')
