Chookpen is a lightweight, secure-ish chat server implementation focused on simplicity and real-time communication. It features user authentication, persistent message history, real-time updates via WebSockets, and supports both traditional HTTP endpoints and WebSocket connections for flexible integration. It uses very little resources on a system, often using a maximum of 20mb. Chookpen is BETA SOFTWARE, and MAY BE BUGGY! Don't expect too much.
