Some time ago I set myself to build a UI that showed how the Enigma encryption machine worked. A few weeks of coding went by and I had a working web application that made me proud. After showing it to a friend, he gave me an idea inspiration hit me:

How about a chat application that sends messages encoded by this machine? Imagine sending encrypted messages to someone and seeing how the machine encrypts a decrypts the messages.

In this series I will document the process of designing the application, building it, and my experience doing so.
