Desktop Application

[fusion94]

Depending on API state we might consider a Desktop Application being built on top of something like Adobe Air.

-1 for adobe air. Please do not use proprietary languages.

Use HTML5 desktop app such that it can run on all Os and bonus Firefox os (mobile platform as well).

Ex: Bigbluebutton project HTML5 client http://www.bigbluebutton.org/blog/

[kirantpatil]

HTML5 App/Client is here for, --> one app for all desktop and mobile platforms --> Resource and Cost saving --> Fast and feature rich --> Not Proprietary --> Make users happy

@cityonline The Kandan Chat application is a server side solution. You'll have to download and install per the instructions.

+1 on native app. Really not a fan of Adobe Air that said...maybe Shoes, TideSDK (formerly known as Titanium Desktop) or simply something purely native.

I'd be willing to help write a native OS X app. Is there any sort of developer/API documentation? I like Hipchat's new (beta)native client, but it would be cool to see an open source solution.

It would be great to have a native OS X app @pyro2927. Right now there is no developer API docs other than looking at the code but it should be pretty simple. We will be working soon on getting a better API (right @fusion94 ?). There is also work being done on a new UI/UX for the app.

I am not an OS X expert but I would love to see a separation of client code to talk to the API the app so we can reuse the client code for iOS and OS X apps. You can take a look at the Cheddar repos

[donthorp]

@gabceb we'll definitely be working on the API soon. Just have to nail down a few internal models as you know.

As someone on the shoes team, we aren't really ready for that yet, and we also aren't really suited for that type of thing. :/

@jrgifford I would be interested to know why. This might not be the place to have such discussion, is there any blog post about that? Don't know a lot about Shoes but I am interested to learn a bit more about it...

[jrgifford]

@jipiboily it mainly comes down to "we're rewriting everything right now". The other half is that even with the jruby, our toolkit is pretty sparse.

How about providing compatible api for existing hipchat clients? You could define yours own server URI in hipchat app.
