Cursor-Chat (for WebSocket presentation)

Used this tutorial as the base: https://ably.com/blog/web-app-websockets-nodejs

Implemented additional functionality:

• Possibility to leave a message: Click on the page, enter some text and press 'Enter' (text will be in the same color as User/Cursor)
• New users receive/see all messages that have been entered before during an ongoing session

How it's built (based on the tutorial)

• /app is the browser application
• /api is a node.js web sockets server
• Web app connects to web sockets server
• On connection, each client is assigned an id and a color.
• On mouse move, coordinate updates are sent to the server
• The server adds the client's id and other metadata
• The enhanced message is sent to all the clients.
