good morning cohost im working on a pesterchum android client


mocha
@mocha

fun fact! lots of things can be changed in several weeks.

So heres a bit of history related to this project:

Pesterchum is a fictional chat client from everybody's favorite can of brain worms. (homestuck)
So cool! so fun!
what if it was real though!!
well about a decade ago some genius made it real. Its basically IRC with some extra metadata thats sneakily hidden away by the client. The most up-to-date version of the client is the "pesterchum alt servers" version, which is honestly a great piece of software!! Problem is its python QT5/6 program which means its basically impossible to run on anything except ur standard run of the mill desktop computer device, not ideal!!

which brings us to chumdroid, an android app someone made around the same time that works with the desktop client and server.
fine and dandy!! oh wh o o ps this app is 9 years old and barely works on modern phones,,

oh thats where this is going

so yes long intro but im making my own pesterchum client, targeting android & desktop.
the source code is up on gitlab and as the name implies, im making it in the godot (game) engine

Anyways, heres list of features, stolen straight from the readme:

  • Adding chums to your chumroll
  • Memos with time controls
  • Global user list
  • Global memo list
  • Connecting to a custom server
  • Colored text (mostly, sometimes doesnt update properly)
  • Setting mood
  • Chatting with another user
  • Setting chumhandle
  • Emotes
  • Settings menus, partially
  • Compact mobile view or expanded desktop view
  • Viewing another users mood
  • chan & nickserv shortcuts

Things that are currently missing:

  • Switching themes
  • Text quirks
  • More settings implementations
  • Message sounds
  • Different themes
  • Removing a chum
  • Blocking users
