Rusty Group Chat

Group chats from your terminal. Built with Rust 🦀

How It Works ⚡️

• Clone this Repo
• Add a .env file using .env.sample's template
• Serve rusty_group_chat_web locally using: cargo run --bin rusty_group_chat_web
• Ask your friends to also clone this repo and share the group chat endpoint/link.
• Alternatively, you could use: https://ngrok.com to expose the group chat endpoint outside your local network and share that instead.
• Run the cargo run --bin rusty_group_chat_cli and follow the prompts to begin chatting. Your friends will need to do same. Happy chatting! 👩🏿‍💻 🧑🏿‍💻
