LAN-Comms

A CLI app to send messages over LAN!

It's stupidly simple, with

  • No encryption
  • No direct messages

It's just

  • Names
  • Ports
  • Colors

How it works

  • Open the program
  • Input the port, or leave empty for default (3535)
    • Ports are the equivalent of chatrooms, choose the same as your friends and you'll be able to talk to them!
  • Input your username
  • Select your color using the arrow keys

And voila, you're in!

Downloads

Currently, LAN-Comms is only available for Windows. Please do not expect that to change.

Just grab the .exe file from the releases page, and you're all set!

Building

To build a .exe file, use PyInstaller!

First, clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/Aquaticsanti/LAN-Comms.git

Then, cd into the repo, and delete dist/ and LAN-Comms.spec.

Lastly, run:

pyinstaller -F -n "LAN-Comms" -i "logos/logo square.png" --recursive-copy-metadata readchar LAN-Comms.py

And done! You should find LAN-Comms.exe on your dist folder!

Enjoy!
