Ever wanted a chat app that lives right in your terminal? Look no further!

🚀 Blazingly fast & super efficient

Seriously, this thing is *fast*. We're talking Rust! Both the backend and frontend are powered by Rust, so it's not gonna hog your precious RAM for no good reason. It's like a ninja, quick and light on its feet.

🔒 Secure (but don't trust me, lol)

You can create as many accounts as your heart desires – infinite, even! This app is built for people to chat freely and have a good time. And yeah, there will be admins to keep things chill.

🎨 Noice TUI (purrfect, even!)

Our TUI is, dare I say, *purrfect*. We've got theme switching, because who doesn't love a fresh look? And get this: there's even a random little surprise waiting for you if you pick a *very specific* username. Try your luck! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

🖼️ Image preview (with animated GIFs!)

Yep, we support images! PNGs, JPEGs, JPGs, and even animated GIFs. Watch those memes come to life right in your terminal. It's magic!

Cross-platform (Rust made us do it)

Because it's written in Rust, ReeTUI just *happens* to be cross-platform. We didn't even try, it just worked out that way. 😉
