Project Amy - App.net messaging integrated natively into Messages for the Mac

  • Wait, this is an official Apple api to add additional networks to Messages? I'm surprised it exists. And even more surprised I haven't heard about it until now.

    Two years old. Woah. This is very interesting. I feel silly for asking but does anybody know if this sort of thing is possible for the iOS Messages? (Probably not, but since this exists I don't know what to think anymore)

    OP where's the source to Project Amy?

  • Thanks, Steve. Really insightful integration of the best new API's in APP.net into a mainstream app. Many of APP.net's API's are truly superior, a jewel in the rough.

    I agree that it's even better than Apparchy - the best hack at last Oct's hackathon.

    It's devs like you (and others) which belie APP.net's long-term strength and genius.

  • This is so great!

  • Awesome!

  • Anything that makes shitty Messages better is welcome. I particularly like how it often fails to set my status to "available" when I boot up.

    And then it incorrectly shows that my contacts are offline when they're not.

    Oh, and instead of bringing up a contacts list by default, it inexplicably brings up a list of old chats. Why the fuck would I want that? Hooray Apple, total detachment from real-world usefulness.
