I’ve been feeling a bit nostalgic lately, so I decided to build a little web chat app inspired by Yahoo! Messenger. Right now it’s got group chat rooms. Super simple setup, no email required to register. You can create your own room or hop into one that’s already open.
Room owners can customize things like backgrounds and even cursors of their room. Users can format their messages with basic markdown like bold, italics, and color texts (kind of like the old Yahoo! days).
I even brought back the classic Yahoo! Messenger emoticons because… well, why not?
You can try it out here: https://buzzed.chat (Heads up: it's still pretty barebones, so excuse any bugs you might run into!)
I'm thinking of adding a few more features next, like:
• Audibles
• A buddy list so you can add friends
• Private chats between buddies
Before I keep building, I wanted to check in and see what people think. Anyone else remember using Yahoo! Messenger back in the day? Any features you’d love to see again?
Would genuinely love to hear your thoughts and ideas
