ShoutVintage Dev Thread - Chat app for vintage and modern machines

[TechEdison]

I figured at some point I should make an official thread for this project I've been working on.

For the past month or so I have worked on writing a chat app that is cross platform for basically everything. I wanted to make something that would "just work" on all devices and still include some basic features you might expect in a more finished product.

Language: RealBasic 2.1 and 3

Protocol: my own

Network requirements: TCP/IP

Functionality:

- Friends system

- User profiles

- Profile editor

- login/register from the app

- Username+nickname display system

- simple and functional

System support goal:

- Mac OS 7.1+ on 68k

- PowerPC macs on os 9

- PowerPC macs on os x

- Windows 98 and up

Development status (when writing this post): completely finished. Just waiting to get the windows executible to work. It worked once and then quit working ever since.

Will be available to download on my HTML 2.0 compliant site, NoCSS: http://www.nocss.ml/shoutvintage

Really interesting idea! I would love to see how this entire thing pans out. Most Macs haven't seen a chat room since the early 2000's!

The only thing is right now, I cannot seem to download the app at all, for any of the versions. It will just redirect to the download site again. I'm not sure if you did that until they are up for download, or their is an error. Just wanted to make you aware of it, otherwise looking forward to it.

Not up for download yet

I wanna get the windows version functional before releasing it. No slacking off on functionality for me.
