A take on the "Get started" chat on Socket.io

Socket.io chat example http://socket.io/get-started/chat/

• Broadcast a message to connected users when someone connects or disconnects
• Add support for nicknames
• Don’t send the same message to the user that sent it himself. Instead, append the message directly as soon as he presses enter
• Add “{user} is typing” functionality
• Show who’s online
• Add private messaging

npm install and npm start:

• http://localhost:3000/react for react UI
• http://localhost:3000/jquery for jquery UI

TODO

• hardcoded address!
• add rooms support (to allow multiple rooms + private chats)
• add redis
