HTML-Python_Webchat

So I was once looking for a Web Based Application like Discord that I could set up in my home on a Raspberry PI mini server that I have. I couldn't find one that I could easily install onto my Raspberry PI and set up within a few minutes...

So with help of ChatGPT, I created one.
