# Morse
**Morse** is a lightning-fast, lightweight chat application built entirely in Rust.
Designed for speed, simplicity, and privacy, Morse provides completely ephemeral chat rooms where no messages are stored, and everything happens in real-time.
## 🚀 Features
- **Privacy-Focused:** Accounts are completely optional, and does not require your email or any other third-party.
- **Ephemeral Chat Rooms:** All messages only transit through the server and are never stored, making your conversations completely private.
- **Lightweight:** Minimal resource usage without sacrificing functionality.
- **Fast:** Leveraging Rust’s speed and WebSocket real-time capabilities.
## 🛠️ Tech Stack
- **Backend:** Rust with [Warp framework](https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp)
- **Frontend:** Plain HTML/CSS/JavaScript
- **Deployment:** Docker, Nginx
- **Storage:** MySQL (for user accounts), Redis (for chat rooms)
