Rust based TUI and GUI P2P messaging app

• Each node runs an server which recives incoming messages
• Nodes know of eachothers IPs through a central server which runs identification
• Users can sign up for an identification through a webserver
• The user identification is run on my rpi and redis (or potentially on GCP)

• Users will be able to create groups This is a very big maybe

• Users will be able to see who is on or offline at any given time as that information will be retrives from the server whenver the user requires
• Message history will be saved as a file on disk
• Messaging will probably be done on 465 as it is not 80 or 443 and is probably unmonitored

TUI

• Cursive
• Reqwest

GUI

• Conrod

Signup webapp

• This will probably just use flask cos its ezpz
• Or maybe rocket as its basically just flask in rust
• Redis will broker the identification requests probably stored in the format

  UserId (Hash of their username + password)
        Username
        Password hash (SHA256)
        isLogedin (Storred as either True or False)
        currentIP (Will be 0 if user is offline)
  

Server

• runs redis (duh)
• serves over http(s)
