__Chat Client__ is a lightweight, cross-platform peer-to-peer chat application designed for secure communication within a local network.

## 🔐 Features

- __End-to-End Encryption (AES-256)__: All messages are encrypted with AES-256, ensuring your conversations remain private and secure.

- __Offline-Only (No Internet Required)__: Works entirely within your local network – no external servers or internet connection needed.

- __Cross-Platform__: Runs on both Linux and Windows, with a consistent and clean UI.

- __Zero Configuration__: Automatic peer discovery and seamless connection – no setup required.

- __Fast & Lightweight__: Minimal resource usage with instant message delivery over LAN.

## 🚀 Installation

You can download the pre-build binary application from the [release page](https://github.com/alkuinvito/chat-client/releases). Currently only available for __Linux__ and __Windows__ in AMD64 architecture. To develop and build yourself, you can follow the __Local Development__ below.

## ⚙️ Local Development

Develop and build your own chat client with these steps:

1. Set your local environment with Go and Node. The app was tested and developed using `go@1.24.5` and `node@22.17.1`.

2. Install `wails` to develop and build using this guide [here](https://wails.io/docs/gettingstarted/installation).

3. Run project in dev mode with live reload using:

```bash

wails dev

```

4. Build project to binary package to supported platform and architecture with `wails build`. Here's an example to build for target os Linux 64-bit:

```bash

wails build -clean -platform linux/amd64

```

5. The output binary file will be inside `build/bin` directory.
