Creating the chat UI

Now that we have an easier way to get to our actual polls and we have the backend code framework in place, we can start to move forward a little bit more with the actual development of the chat component itself. We'll need to start off by building out the UI in the simplest way possible first, since without that it will be very difficult to actually accomplish anything else.

Another consideration that we're going to have to make is that we likely will want it to be easy to place chat into our application anywhere, which means we're going to have to build out a shared component.
