## Features

For now the app supports only one big chatroom. The main functionalities are :

 * [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) formating for all your messages

 * User nicknames, and nickname changes

 * Nickname color, and randomization of it

 * User list in the chat

 * Auto reconnection on server or client failure

 * Connection/Deconnection notification

 * Some smileys :)

 * Status updates ! Similar to the /me command in IRC

 * A complete help window

 * Clickable links

 * Ninja mode (accessible via Alt + n) it will make the message disapear from your console after 2 minutes. Handy if you are at work ;)

 * Some keyboard shortcuts

## Build

To build it you need the following :

 * node.js

 * npm

 * bower (install with `sudo npm install -g bower`)

 * grunt (install with `sudo npm install -g grunt-cli`)

Then run the following commands to build the app:

    npm install

    bower install

    grunt

And it should do it ! The app will be built in the `build` directory.

## Running

To run it, just use the `grunt deploy` command :)

## TODO

 * Implement several chatrooms.

 * Implement user private messaging.

 * Make a nickname **unique** within one chatroom.

 * Enhance design

 * Make the code clean

 * Maybe rewrite some part of in in coffeescript
