whyrc is a smol TCP chat application built to help me learn a bit of network programming with Rust.
It has:
- chat rooms straight out of 1999
- a 🚀 blazingly fast 🚀 TUI application
- a multithreaded server to keep things 🚀 blazingly fast 🚀 when chatting with your 2 other friends
Why you shouldn't use it:
- No e2e encryption
- No real user authentication
- No support for DMs
- It uses JSON for serialization
- It's susceptible to DDOS attacks by creating numerous TCP connections
