Proof-of-Concept application to learn about socket.io and real-time messaging applications. This is part of my "learn a new thing every month" project.
Started with following the tutorial on http://socket.io/get-started/chat/ and then implemented some of the exercises. It's quite rudimentary and needs lots of improvements, like sending events to the client instead of formatted messages. Might do it when I have more time later.
Start server: node index.js
Implemented chat commands:
- /nick [username], e.g. /nick lee: Change username
- /users: show list of all online users
- [message], e.g. hello!: Broadcast message
