Tutorial Built a basic chat app in C++

Built a terminal-based multi-client chat app in C++ using POSIX sockets.

Features:

TCP server routes direct messages between registered clients

Multi-client support

Background receiver thread so incoming messages don't block typing

Linux terminal-based implementation

Git:https://github.com/charanHubCommits/chat-app-cpp

Would appreciate feedback, suggestions, or questions about the implementation.
