Live Chat TUI

A terminal-based live chat application built in Go, featuring a Text User Interface (TUI) for seamless user interaction, real-time communication using WebSockets, and MongoDB for efficient data storage. This project was created as an experiment while exploring Golang, WebSocket protocols, and TUI design.

Features

  • Multiple Channels: Each server supports multiple chat channels, enabling users to join and communicate in specific topics.
  • Real-time Updates: Messages are delivered and displayed in real-time using WebSockets.
  • Terminal UI: An intuitive terminal-based interface built with Bubble Tea, Bubble, and Lipgloss for style.
  • Persistent Storage: MongoDB is used to store user data, messages, and channels.
  • Scalable Design: Built with Gonic Gin and Gorilla WebSocket for a robust backend.

Technologies Used

Backend

  • Gorilla WebSocket: Enables WebSocket support for real-time communication.
  • Gonic Gin: Provides a fast and flexible HTTP server for handling API requests.
  • MongoDB: Stores persistent data for users, messages, and channels.

Frontend (TUI)
