Live chat app with node.js and socket.io

Sample NodeJS/Express application demonstrating the use of Socket.IO. I am using:

• NodeJs
• Express
• Socket.io
• Twitter Bootstrap

This project was a simple test of sockets as a traditional chat program.

2. Run npm install to install required dependecies

More to come

• Unique color per user
• User connected/disconnected message
• Private rooms / chats
• Message history (maybe up to 100 messages?)
• Add emojis
• Alert sound for new messages

Enjoy!.
