App removed

Now that we have a mobile chat that doesn't suck, I've taken this down.

Screenshot

About

  • Completely overhauled styles, including default and dark themes
  • Reply to, star and flag messages
  • Slide-out Sidebar for easy menu/star list access
  • Tweaks to make typing easier (including Return -> Send, @username completion)

The app works by injecting extra CSS and JS into the standard Stack Exchange chat window. It comprises only of client-side code. No data is sent to any servers other than those belonging to Stack Exchange.

Download

Changelog

  • v1.1 - Log in should now work on older (<4.4) versions of Android. You need to log into an SE site, then go back to chat. This process has been semi-automated.

    There's only chat.SE (supported), chat.meta.SE (as above), and chat.SO (might want to add that). Commented Apr 25, 2014 at 14:38
  • @michaelb958 I had chat.SO but not chat.meta.SE. I should have an updated apk today. Commented Apr 25, 2014 at 14:38

    @michaelb958 Fixed. It may take a little while for the Play store to push you the new binary. Commented Apr 25, 2014 at 14:48

  • It doesn't work for me. "Your browser does not support StackExchange global authentication. Please enable cookies, and make sure you have a reasonably modern browser. See help for details, or log in via StackExchange.com." So what's the purpose of the app then? Commented Apr 25, 2014 at 17:40
  • But I can join Root Access" from all rooms list and it says "logged in" at the bottom. I can only view the chat conversations, I cannot type anything. And if I click on "logged in" it takes me to the same message as I already posted. This is on a Galaxy S4 Plus, if that helps. Commented Apr 25, 2014 at 17:43
  • @sammyg what version of Android are you running? Commented Apr 25, 2014 at 17:57
  • Android 4.3, kernel 3.4.0-2210443. Model number GT-I9506. Commented Apr 25, 2014 at 18:04
  • @sammyg I'll try and see what's going wrong with an emulator Commented Apr 25, 2014 at 18:05

    It would be cool if there was a moderator option that kept the edit and remove links available when selecting any message. Commented May 1, 2014 at 18:22
  • @AJHenderson If I can reliably detect if you're a moderator, then sure, I'll look into it! Commented May 1, 2014 at 18:50
