IRC Chat Relay

A seamless real-time communication chat app enabling users to create an account, log in, and join multiple rooms to start chatting with others. Users can utilize various commands:

• /msg <username> to send a private message to another user in the same room.
• /join <room name> to join or create a new chat room.
• /quit <room name> to leave a chat room (if no room name is provided, it will exit the current room).
• /delete <room name> to delete a channel (if no room name is provided, it will kick everyone, including yourself, from the current room and delete it if you're the owner).
• /nick <new username> to change your username to a new one.
