# fire up a server of some kind for index.html
# Voila!
Basically, its a simple proof-of-concept chat application using WebSockets. Feel free to copy/fork/do whatever with it.
The server was made by following this tutorial: http://socketo.me/docs/hello-world
I wrote the JavaScript code, which is very simple -- opens a websocket, and handles basic message passing.
The CSS was taken from http://chad.is/css3-buttons/ and https://codepen.io/ayoungh/pen/ABJKu, plus some of my own making.
