# DiscoChat

DiscoChat helps distributed groups collaborate, making it easy to exchange media and keep in touch, while keeping track of the bane of everyone's existence: timezones/local time.

To install all the required modules:

`npm install`

and then start the application (make sure Mongo is running already):

`npm start`
