+
+## How to use it
+Just start the program, then either (l)isten or (c)onnect, one person has to listen and then the other one has to connect to it.   
+The port is always 8080 for now, and the listeners ip address is shown for the listener, so it can easily be seen.  
+Then just write and the messages of the other person are shown in your terminal!
+
+## Debugging
+If it doesn't work, make sure that you connected to the correct ip address and port, and make sure that your firewall allows connections on port 8080 for this program.  
+If it still doesn't work open an issue.
