ConnectX it's an chat application, the project it's made in PyQt6 framework and works in conjuntion with FastAPI and MySQL as DBMS.
Therefore, in order to run it, you need use this repository as backend: https://github.com/AESMatias/ConnectX-Backend The steps to run the backend server are basically the same: just create your .env file according to the env.sample file inside the repository, and run the main.py file. Do you need an MySQL instance running first.

- Clone this repository to your local machine.
- Install the required dependencies using
pip install -r requirements.txt. 📦 - Run the
main.pyscript inside the main folder. 🏃 - Enjoy 🌐
- Real-time socket implementation.
- Fix the quality issue that occurs when we upload an image.
- Fix the looping of the music.
- We need to add the option that allows maximise or just shrink the windows dimensions.
- We need to ensure that the two sockets (to send and recibe messages) for each user connected were absolute closed through de server (maybe using a periodic func), because if this isn't done, we're having a big vulnerability breach that allows the users collapse the RAM used by the server, blowing up the entire server.
- When someone send a message than contains ":" and more, the app does not work anymore because of the split method, it's very easy to fix though.
- When a new message income, we need to refresh the two instances> the pixmap and the animated label with the new picture that has been changed from our own account session.
- If the user scrolls up, then we need to calculate the current height dinamically obtained through a function, thus allowing them to scrolls up the chat history, because currently there's a func that scrolls the whole chat down every 15 seconds.
