Socket.io-based, web chat app.

Note

This is quite old app, so it is really tricky to make it working. I've updated the dependencies and it's also needed to run this on your MySQL server (from this stackoverflow answer).

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'ChoosePassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
