TODO

Receptor Management. ✔️
Socket.io sometimes unstable in client-side. Find the reason and fix it. ✔️
Use a conversation data model rather than socket-id to indentify a real conversation.
Search messages in more ways.
Server-side UI enhancement.
Just see Olark or ChatCat for reference.
Fix bugs.
