Creating an account

After entering a username, click the "Done" button. The application will then setup the encryption keys and connect to the server. Once the connection is established, you will be able to send and receive messages.

Sending a message

To send a message, simply type a message in the text box at the bottom of the screen and press enter. The message will be sent to the server and then to all other users.
