Python Live Chat App

A lightweight and minimal live chat application built using only Python’s built-in http.server module.
No frameworks or external libraries required — just pure Python.

Features

• No dependencies (runs with standard Python)
• Responsive layout for desktop and mobile
• Real-time messaging with simple username login
• Accessible via both localhost and local network (IP address + port)
• Messages persist in a local file
• Easy to run: just double-click the Python script to start the server
• Runs on port 8080 by default

How to Run

1. Download or clone the repository.
2. Double-click app.py (or run with python app.py) to start the server.
3. Open your browser and visit:
   • Local: http://localhost:8080
   • Network (other devices on LAN):
     Replace localhost with your local IP address, e.g. http://192.168.1.10:8080
