Day 0

Since yesterday, I decided to start working on a global chat application in Python. Everyone will be able to log in and chat, while I, as the amazing moderation team, will be able to ban people who break the rules.

Yesterday, I spent some time talking with AI and watching videos to understand how sockets and threading work in Python.

Today, since I got back late from a trip, I decided to practice what I learned yesterday instead of rushing into the full project. I built a local echo server that currently supports one client (but I’ll probably add multi-client support tomorrow).

I also added a primitive client verification system, so if a client is not compatible with the server, the connection gets rejected. Right now it works by sending a specific string.

The only issue I had was that after disconnecting the client, the server started infinitely sending “”. Luckily, I quickly realized I could stop it using if not.

See you tomorrow in the next devlog!
