4 | | -Build Worker: |
| 3 | +A retro-styled, browser-only chat client. |
| 4 | +Version: **v0.1.0-beta** |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +## What this is |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +HTMLChat is a super simple chat system I hacked together: |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +* Frontend is pure HTML/CSS/JS (retro style, scrollbars included). |
| 11 | +* Backend is a tiny API (yes, it’s alive, and yes, it works). |
| 12 | +* LocalStorage keeps your name + cached messages. |
| 13 | +* No cookies. No nonsense. Just **chat**. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## Features |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Multiple rooms (#general, #random, #offtopic, #computers) |
| 18 | +Nicknames + color-coding |
| 19 | +Connection status + heartbeat (so you look online) |
| 20 | +Export chat logs as JSON |
| 21 | +Mobile-friendly (user list hides on small screens) |
| 22 | +Retro scrollbars (obviously) |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +## Roadmap |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +This is **beta**, so expect bugs and jank. Stuff I *might* add: |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +* Dark mode |
| 29 | +* `/commands` (like `/me` or `/shrug`) |
| 30 | +* Typing indicators |
| 31 | +* WebSocket support (currently polling) |
| 32 | +* Emojis, maybe (but only if they don’t ruin the retro feel) |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +## Running it |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +Frontend is just static HTML. |
| 37 | +Backend is currently deployed at: |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +``` |

5 | 41 | ``` |
6 | | -cd Worker |
7 | | -npm i |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +The source for it is at `Worker/`. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +You can swap `baseURL` in the JS if you want to host your own. |
