Swallow is a decentralized localhost browsing chat app, built for fast, local-first conversations without relying on any centralized servers.
It’s lightweight, peer-to-peer, and feels like magic on your local network. ✨

• 🔗 Peer-to-peer communication over localhost
• 🌐 Decentralized: No servers, no middlemen
• 💬 Real-time chat experience
• ⚡ Instant connections inside your local network
• 🛡️ Private and secure (everything stays local)

First, make sure you have Holesail installed on your system.
(You can install it from holesail.com or using your preferred method.)

npm install holesail -g

Then:

git clone https://github.com/codesamp-rohan/swallow.git
cd swallow
cd ./frontend
npm install
cd ../backend
npm install

follow these steps:

npm start

Open your terminal and run:

holesail --port 5173 --host localhost server

then start another terminal and run,

holesail swallow

You will get a localhost link running, for eg :

http://localhost:8989

Congratulations, the chat connection is setup at that URL.
