node-simple-chat's Issues

External Webserver

Hi, It's a very good example of realtime chat demo with socket.io

But I am wondering how to setup such demo on a webserver with public ip address, so that it is accessible from Internet ? Thank you

This is really an outdated lib, can anybody suggest a latest alternative?

Great Example - but very unsecure

To avoid XSS better replace special chars with HTML entities - but for a example its good enough!

steps to reproduce: send message <script>alert("XSS");</script>

thx for this great tutorial project - helps me learning this stuff!

cannot find module socket.io

on android with termux it does not work
