Django Real-Time Sync with WebSocket

Description

This project demonstrates real-time communication in Django using WebSocket technology.

Messages sent from one browser tab are instantly broadcast to all other tabs without page refresh.

It uses Django Channels with Redis as the channel layer for scalable message delivery.

The frontend connects to a WebSocket endpoint and joins a channel group for synchronized messaging.

Includes a responsive UI and deployment-ready configuration with ASGI support.
