+
+## Chat App in C3
+
+Hello, this is a very basic chat application built in C3 for learning and fun. Don't take this repo seriously. Of course I am learning C3 so if there is something that could be done better in the C3 way let me know!
+
+## Videos
+
+This will be a series on my YouTube channel: [here](https://www.youtube.com/@aveydotdev)
+### Roadmap
+
+#### Server
+- [ ] Accept Connection
+- [ ] Threading
+- [ ] Broadcast messages to all clients
+- [ ] Parse Commands
+- [ ] Channels or Chat Rooms
+- [ ] Private Messages
+
+#### Client
+- [ ] Send Messages
+- [ ] Stay Connected to Server
+- [ ] Send Commands
+- [ ] Join Channels or Chat Rooms
+- [ ] Send Private Messages
+- [ ] GUI
+
+The GUI will be necessary because when a user is typing and someone else sends a message the user will have their message over written by the incoming message.  This could be handled with threading, but learning C3 and creating a simple GUI will be a lesson opportunity.
+
+## Why
+
+I decided to build this because it's fun and secondly to really learn a language it's a good idea to build something more than trivial. Your "hello world" application isn't teaching you much about the language you are learning outside of printing to standard out, compiling and/or running.
