Features
- User Authentication: Login system based on a JSON file storing user credentials.
- Real-Time Messaging: Utilizes Flask-SocketIO for instant message broadcasting across the network.
- Chat History: Messages are stored and retrieved from a JSON file, ensuring that chat history is maintained.
