Question

I'm currently working on a school project that aims at creating a P2P chat client for users on the same network. For now, it will only be used by users on the same LAN network. But hopefully,I will to extend to work for users on the same public Wifi(if that's possible, is it?).What is confusing me at the moment is how to store users information like username, password, account picture, message history...etc. I was thinking of creating a database and storing them there but that seems inconvenient and since the app won't connect to some sort of server it might affect portability. So what is a convenient way of storing user info? Thanks in advance.

Explanation / Answer

It's pretty common to store stuff you want in a database, on a client, in something like sqlite. It's a database that is pretty lite, and very common for desktop apps.
