Chat++

A simple and privacy respecting chatroom build using Socket.io and tons of other libraries.

How it works:

If a user logs into a room they create a socket.io connection to the cpp backend and push their requested room and nickname. The user is then sorted into the correct broadcast-room and attributes are persisted. A login or logout also triggers an event that pushes data on the current users in the room to all connected clients.

From here on out the server is mostly just a routing and broadcasting system that distributes messages to all clients.

Supported features:

CPP supports:

• Markdown
• images and other embeds (youtube etc)
• Messages coloring for easy identification

Security:

CPP passes all user-generated output though DOMPurify before rendering
