User Story:

As an Developer considering using Meshrabiya, I want to see the Chat window so that I can see Meshrabiya working for myself

Background info:

Everyone connected in the network should be able to see that message
The chat should work by sending UDP packets to all other known users. Known users are identified by their IP address and port.
History of chats should be limited to last x messages (e.g. where x = 1,000). Messages are not saved.

This is sample video with logs, endpoint, and chat. After connecting the device, we can group chat. In this, we can identify the sender and receiver by matching the current endpoint and with the device name that are present in logs.
