Hi verb,
We've been delaying Aphrodite for some time because we're heavily working on the chat part. We've all been under the impression that the chat has been an underused and underrated function of our software.
Some told us that the chat window was a bit uneasy to work with, the selecting a conversation partner was hard, no groupchat.. etc all these tiny things that made it hard and impractical to use basically.
That's why
crz has been working his ass of the past week, I can't count the days no more that I've ended up at 2 AM and he's still online, coding. Then waking up and seeing he's online before me
We're seriously improving the chat experience for the better, we're hoping to make ShadowChat the "slack" for all communications of the community. I've done some more work on the groupchat and ironed out a bug yesterday
crz is giving it a sweet facelift, I've seen some sneak peaks and you can take my word for it, it is looking sexy as always. I think many people will be surprised with what's coming.
I know we've been delaying a lot, and nobody likes it. But we'd rather deliver something which we have faith in, than a half ass working GUI with loads of styling errors.
