Talky Messenger Documentation & Setup

( Github ) Just created a chat app that runs in Node and Socket. the attempt was worthy. Talky is a messenger app built with Node, Express, Socket, Angular & Bootstrap.

I do also have personal experience from a guy, who comments after evaluating our project of 5000 LOC that "is it only this much to do that? Child's play". He also suggested a new feature to add, which was a nice one. On the implementation phase of that feature, we pulled him to find a bug. And after spending 30 mins on our code his reaction - "Someone's ca...
