Talky Messenger Documentation & Setup

( Github ) Just created a chat app that runs in Node and Socket. the attempt was worthy. Talky is a messenger app built with Node, Express, Socket, Angular & Bootstrap. It's like a server-client structure. (But obviously not like the one we done at OS lab using shared memory). It has a broadcasting structure. Talky does not keep a log on chat. i.e., It doesn't have a memory or database. When we close the browser window, chat history is lost. There I also added a basic console, protected by a password, to send real-time notifications to active clients. The name 'Talky' was suggested by a friend of mine. (hey, thank you for that. The fact is that I am not really good at naming...😝) What if sometimes your college blocks WhatsApp? Try Talky. ( There is also a website on internet in the name of 'Talky' which has no connection with this one. ) Download Talky Messenger To use Talky, all you need is 3 things: Node server Source code

Repairing my keyboard gone wrong and then right.

Few months ago I tried to repair an old unused keyboard. I opened it cleaned and put everything back in place. But didn't work. Thinking it has met it's end-of-life, I gave it to my sister's daughter, 2 year old Komal. She went hard with it. Once she even thrown it. To my surprise, after a few throws, it's now working properly 🙆.
