# Simple Chat App with Group and Channel Functionalities

This is a simple chat application implemented in Python using a server-client architecture. The app allows users to create groups, join groups, leave groups, create channels, join channels, leave channels, and send messages to groups and channels.

## Features

- **Server-Client Architecture**: The app is built using a client-server model where multiple clients can connect to a central server.

- **End-to-End Encryption**: Messages sent between clients and the server are encrypted using base64.

- **Timestamps**: Each message is timestamped to indicate when it was sent.

- **Group Management**: Users can create groups, join groups, and leave groups. Messages can be sent to specific groups.

- **Channel Management**: Users can create channels, join channels, and leave channels. Messages can be sent to specific channels.

- **Simple Command Line Interface (CLI)**: The app features a simple CLI for user interaction.

- **Usage of Sockets**: Sockets are used for communication between clients and the server.
