+# Messenger
+
+Rudimentary messenger server for the Crimata platform
+
+Crimata has a messenger application built in. This is the backend for that application, allowing users to talk/text eachother. 
+
+While running this code as is would probably be pointless, it is a clean and simple implentation of a messenger service.
