AppleBox Chat

AppleBox Chat is a real-time communication platform built with Python and Flask featuring chat channels, DMs, voice calling (WebRTC), Discord-style server voice channels (mesh WebRTC) with camera video and screen sharing, 1-on-1 video calls and screen sharing in DMs, profile customization, an admin panel, polls, and integrated games.

Tech Stack

  • Backend: Python 3.12, Flask, Flask-SocketIO, Flask-Login
  • Real-time: Flask-SocketIO (WebSockets via threading async mode)
  • Storage: Flat-file storage in data/ (JSON / TXT)
  • Encryption: Cryptography (AES-GCM) for password protection

Project Structure

  • main.py — main Flask application, routes, and SocketIO handlers
  • profanity_filter.py — profanity filtering helpers
  • data/ — flat-file persistence (users, channels, polls, configs, etc.)
  • static/ — images, uploads, emojis, favicon
  • templates/ — Jinja2 HTML templates (login, channel, profile, games, etc.)
  • requirements.txt / Pipfile — Python dependencies

Replit Setup

  • Workflow Start application runs python main.py and binds to 0.0.0.0:5000 (webview).
  • The Flask-SocketIO development server is used in dev; allow_unsafe_werkzeug=True is set so the dev server can host WebSockets behind the Replit proxy.
  • Deployment target is vm (always-on) since the app maintains in-memory state and uses local flat-file storage that wouldn't survive autoscale spin-down.
  • Production run command: python main.py.

Notes

  • Chat history and user data live in data/ — back this up if needed.
  • Default admin/owner usernames referenced in code: jesseramsey, Killua.
