Currently the http GET/POST method for the chat works, but slows down the frontend, and isn't the best way to do it. Websockets will speed up the frontend, prevent the backend from getting spammed, and will allow chat messages to be updated faster.

I'm going to try and implement them with the tokio-tungstenite crate, if I can figure it out. As Rocket doesn't currently support websockets, but has a similar thing in the master version, which rocket_contrib doesn't support yet.
