Project description:
"Our Tech-Books–based learning platform needs a lightweight, maintainable chat layer so students can discuss material in the moment without leaving the site. Email-and-password accounts are already part of the project, so the chat module should reuse that authentication flow.

Core requirements
• Real-time delivery (WebSockets, [login to view URL], or a modern equivalent).
• Both private 1-to-1 conversations and multi-user group rooms.
• Every message saved to a database and retrievable as a scrollable history.
• Clear, well-commented code that drops neatly into the existing Tech-Books repository, with a short README covering setup and any migrations.

Tech freedom
Choose the backend stack you work fastest with—Node/Express, Django/Channels, FastAPI, Go, etc.—as long as it stays open-source friendly and easy for another developer to pick up.

Timeline
I’d like an MVP running on a branch ASAP; we can polish UI details after basic send/receive and persistence are solid.

Deliverables
1. Chat server code and integration hooks.
2. Database schema or migrations.
3. Minimal front-end widgets (send box, thread view, room selector).
4. Setup instructions and summary of key functions/tests.

If this sounds straightforward, tell me which stack you’d use and how quickly you can push the first working commit." (client-provided description)
