## Product: P2P Chat Application with Holepunch

**Description:**

Develop a P2P chat application using Holepunch, empowering users to communicate securely without reliance on a central server or third-party service. Users should have the ability to engage in one-on-one conversations or initiate/join group chats.

**Some Requirements:**

1. **Technology Stack:**
   - The app must be built using Node.js and leverage the Holepunch library.

2. **Frontend Interface:**
   - The app must feature a frontend interface, enabling users to connect to the chat network and communicate with others using a peer id.

3. **Bonus Task - User Authentication:**
   - As a bonus task, address the challenge of user authentication without a centralized server. How can users securely authenticate themselves and chat seamlessly across devices? Consider the absence of a centralized server for authentication.

**Resources:**

Delve into the Holepunch documentation and identify the specific modules that can be utilized to achieve key functionalities in the P2P chat application.

   - **Focus:** Define the overall architecture of the P2P chat application.
   - **Approach:** Discuss the architectural choices you plan to make, including the structure of components, the flow of data, and how different modules will interact. What considerations will guide your architectural decisions for scalability and maintainability?

2. **Documentation Practices:**
   - **Focus:** Ensure comprehensive documentation on local environment usage.
   - **Approach:** How will you enforce and uphold good documentation practices, specifically regarding the application's usage on local environments?

3. **Version Control and Collaboration:**
   - **Focus:** Git repository, coding style, commits, peer reviews, and testing.
   - **Approach:** Establish a private Git repository for project tracking. Discuss your strategy for maintaining a uniform coding style, ensuring clear and descriptive commits, and incorporating peer reviews and testing throughout development.
