Show HN: ReactJS Open Source Chat

6 points by lgse ↗ HN
A few weekends ago I was bored looking for a small project. I decided to make a small chat app that supports SSL and can be deployed easily.

Front-end: ReactJS, Redux, Websockets

Back End: Node.JS, Redis, Websockets

Here is the source: http://www.github.com/lgse/react-chat Here is a demo: http://chat.lgse.net

username: pick whatever you like! server: chat.lgse.net:1337 encryption: SSL/TLS

There are still a lot of todos, but very functional for a small weekend project. Comments welcomed!

Did a similar project once :)

Frontend was Vue.js and Websockets Backend was Go

My target was to run it on resource constrained systems :D which I pretty much did

That's cool man! I always wanted to get into Vue.js also. I really like the framework.

Go seems awesome as well. There are just so many frameworks and languages now, who knows what to pick any more haha!
