Let's use Node JS and Aleph.im to build out a decentralized chat. This will be an ongoing series that will probably take several weeks to complete.

The Node.js app that we will have at the end will allow a user to register with a simple username and password, and we'll create an Ethereum account for them on the backend. Then, they will be able to interact with the decentralized data network powered by Aleph.im.

In this episode, we'll work out how to pull back messages from the Aleph network and display them with EJS. Next, we'll use websockets to keep our view in sync with the network.
