TikTok-Chat-Reader FAQ
How do I run TikTok-Chat-Reader locally?
Install Node.js, clone or download the repository, run npm i in the project root, start the app with node server.js, and open http://localhost:8091 in your browser.
Can I try it without starting the server?
Yes. Opening index.html from the public folder uses the demo site's backend, which the project says is sufficient for testing purposes.
What should I do if many people will connect at once?
The project advises using your own server rather than the demo backend if you offer the tool to others or expect many simultaneous connections.
