A few weekends ago I was bored looking for a small project. I decided to make a small chat app that supports SSL and can be deployed easily.
Front-end: ReactJS, Redux, Websockets
Back End: Node.JS, Redis, Websockets
Here is the source: http://www.github.com/lgse/react-chat Here is a demo: http://chat.lgse.net
username: pick whatever you like! server: chat.lgse.net:1337 encryption: SSL/TLS
There are still a lot of todos, but very functional for a small weekend project. Comments welcomed!
