## Description

Ghostboard provides a simple web page where text typed in one browser instantly appears in all other connected browsers, plus a CLI client for scriptable access. It runs as a Docker container (bundling nginx and the WebSocket server on port 80) or as plain Python scripts. Each URL path creates an independent board, and the UI includes dark mode, Markdown rendering, and a REST API for programmatic updates. The project explicitly states there is no encryption, so it is intended for trusted networks only.
