Posted by: greystash on 2024-02-15 03:38:35 Hello! I'm finishing a new application called Conversant, it's a chat room/messenger application for Macintosh. There's some small bugs I'm aware of already but I wanted to get some feedback on pain points and any issues that may occur during use. It's very simple at this stage, and is only built for PPC machines. I'll likely release a 68k version in the future but there's a bit more work involved for that to happen. Download here. Thank you!

Posted by: mathieutozer on 2024-02-15 06:25:34 I'm in the chat room - works well for me so far (SheepShaver for now)! Legacy AI works with a proxy server so I guess the same must be happening here. I have been tinkering with classic software development on and off for the last few months, and am looking for some help / advice in case anyone has any. Anyone care to share their dev environment? I've tried https://github.com/ksherlock/mpw which was probably the most successful however I would like to use an application framework like PowerPlant with Code Warrior to ease the development of the U in particularI, and so far I have had most success with CodeWarrior Pro 4 in BasiliskII - I tried several other versions but hit so many stability issues (and linker errors of the default stationery, leading me to think the emulation might be messing things up) that I landed on 4 and it seems to allow me to use PowerPlant stationery and it hasn't corrupted my OS or itself so far so sticking with that for now. It appears to have OpenTransport libs installed which I THINK is what I will need to make http requests.
