P2P Chat Application

This project is a real-time peer-to-peer (P2P) chat application. This application allows users to exchange messages via WebSocket.

Technologies

• Node.js: For server-side
• Express: To create the HTTP server
• WebSocket: For real-time communication
• HTML/CSS: For the user interface

How it Works

• WebSocket provides real-time communication between users.
• Each user is assigned a userId (UUID) when connecting.
• When a user sends a message to another user, the message is delivered directly to the intended recipient.
