UGX Chat
- Realtime chat web application for the UGX-Mods Forum
Project Summary
In 2012 a chat was needed to connect players together. I choose a self written solution to integrate the forum database into the chat. It was shutdown in 2017 due to popular and much better communication tool "Discord". In 2022 the Chat was revived as nostalgic version with some code refactoring and refinement.

Project Information
The chat was needed in at first to get users together. It then was replaced by Discord as it offers much more features, is widely used and I could spent my dev time on other projects
In 2022, it was brought back as a surprise to the community and give them a nostalgic look back at something many users remembered.
The code was fully rewritten and improved, it's much more solid and better. It's modern easy to read and maintain code 💖
The project also integrates a realtime Discord Bot. This bot is used by moderators and offers tools to get information about users. The bot also shows the current amount of users in the UGX Chat.
More features and improvements are planned.
