Chookchat is a lightweight, secure-ish chat server implementation focused on simplicity and real-time communication. It features user authentication, persistent message history and real-time updates via WebSockets. It uses very little resources on a system, often using a maximum of 20mb. Chookpen is BETA SOFTWARE, and MAY BE BUGGY! Don't expect too much.
Chookpen is split up into multiple parts, the server and different reference clients for different platforms. For extensive documentation of all parts of Chookpen, a repository wiki is being worked on which will be released soon. For now, if you want to learn more about Chookpen, visit each folder.
## Acknowledgments
Chookpen relies on a lot of FOSS software, and wouldn't be possible without it! Here's some quick links to the original projects if you're interested:
### [Javalin](https://javalin.io)
An easy to use web server for Kotlin and Java. Chookpen wouldn't be possible without it!
### [Gradle](https://gradle.org)
The build tool for compiling Chookpen. It just works!
### [Kotlin](https://kotlinlang.org)
The language Chookpen is coded in. How else does it work?
