It's always nice to read the details of people building real applications, even if it's not a homerun.

BTW: just blurring people's names using a gaussian blur operator is not enough, if your radius is too small. From the screenshots of chats, you can tell names like "Arvind Sankar", "Manu Saravanan", etc.

Also, although difficult, Gaussian blurs can be in certain cases reversed (even though this one is so obvious there was no point in blurring the names). I prefer a fat black box when censoring.
