Plugin release

[tajnymag]

Hello, it seems you are the hope of the Disa's community. How is the development going? Are you going to release the plugin someday? :)

Hi! I actually haven't been working on it recently, unfortunately.

The last time that I worked on Disa-Steam, I ran into some major issues with development and testing. I was unable to test the plugin on my phone due to ADB not working properly with my configuration, and as I found out later, I was also using outdated and incomplete documentation and examples.

I was actually waiting until a post 1.0.0 release with complete documentation, but after reading this, I decided to check out the documentation again. While it's slightly better, it's still lacking any information on how to create or package the settings panel which is needed in order to log in to the Steam network and verify with Steam Guard. If the DisaOpenSource Disa.Framework.Telegram and Disa.Framework.Telegram.Mobile source code is working and up-to-date, I may be able to tear it apart and figure out how to add the settings panel and resume development, but it will take a while.

What I need to figure out before I am able to create a working version of this plugin is the following:

• [x] How to create a settings page.
• [x] How to get a tab added to the "New Message" view.
• [x] How to release the plugin. (Requires that the plugin be completed and work properly.)
• [ ] Can the plugin updates be done with GitHub Releases and is it against the GitHub TOS to do so.
• [x] Getting ADB and Disa.Terminal to work together properly on my Windows configuration.
• [x] If it is possible to include images inside of text bubbles for Steam emoticons, or if the emoticon will have to be displayed as text only.
• [x] If it is possible to use the SteamKit2 library to retrieve a list of emoticons that the user has available to them.
• [x] If it is possible to use the SteamKit2 library to retrieve a friend's nickname, or if that will have to be done through a hacky method.
• [ ] If it is possible to get the Steam emoticons added to the Disa emoji keyboard, or if not, ask if the developers have any support planned for that.
• [x] Can it be developed without using Visual Studio or Xamarin?

If/when I manage to figure out the above items, I will check them off.

Nice! You are sent from heaven. THIS is what Disa needs! And me being a huge gamer, I totally like the idea even more. I wish so much I could help but I have no idea to write code :/

I'm happy to report that a framework is being developed to aid in development of this plugin.

Assuming @TheBinaryFox actually uses it goddamn it..

Just a quick update to anybody that's following this:

I have contacted @SuperSpyTX, and we fully plan on making this plugin a reality. He has started to get into contact with the developers of Disa, and we are making progress in understanding how to correctly utilize the Disa framework. As for the release date, we don't have a specific date planned due to unknown development times along with having to find time to work on it. We can guarantee, however, that the day the plugin comes out, you'll be getting a bit more than you were expecting.

If anybody was wondering what licensing we've decided upon for the plugin, we are looking to release it under the MIT license.

Seems like I need to check in on a regular base :D

Hi, ist this still ongoing? I so'd love to hear any news and to have an actual community App. Having more plugins really should improve Disa
