Remember those Hacker movies chat applications?

Yes, those with the green chars that appeared one by one on the screen, in real time, as the remote user typed them.

That's what InstaChat aims for, a retro, multiplatform*, ncurses based real time chat, in which each key you press is directly sent through the network to the peer you are talking to.

*Only tested on windows, but the only used libraries are ncurses and boost for socket and thread support so it should compile fine wherever these libraries run.
