i'd love a wed app for my cr 48

[QUOTE=asherkin;27967568]You would prefer to type your Steam credentials into a website controlled by a 3rd party rather that into an app on your system that only communicates with Valve's servers?

Any chance of this supporting group chats?
[QUOTE=Ama-zake;27976013]Any chance of this supporting group chats?[/QUOTE] It's open source, so you can add support!
[QUOTE=T3hGamerDK;27973286]Google's pilot program I would assume?[/QUOTE] They just give them out for free?
[QUOTE=DeadKiller987;27976234]They just give them out for free?[/QUOTE] Yes. You have to meet "certain criteria" based on who Google is looking for to test them and provide feedback.

Is there a web-based application of Mono in PHP or such? I could give it a whirl.

It turned out that I can't install Mono without admin rights, so it won't work here on Mac.

Might be a dumb question but does Valve allow this?
I emailed someone at Valve about 2 weeks ago, and haven't gotten a response. I personally hope they're alright with it, cause I'm not developing a competing product nor am I doing anything purposely malicious. So I guess time will tell.
I need to ask, what ports does this connect too? All steam ports or just chat protocols? I'm wondering because steam is blocked at my school, But not the chatting part because if i start steam, put the cmoputer in hibernate, and start it up at my school i can use steam fine (except not being able to connect to servers), so I suppose that the chat is accessible somehow. So I'm wondering if I can use this as a substitute for "normal" steam.

[editline]21st February 2011[/editline] This Steam client is awesome though, finally something that works on Linux.
How do i install it on Linux Mint 9? I installed Winrar and wine, i took out the .exe but it won't install.

One word doesn't really help.
If you Googled the word or had any idea about Linux you would know what it was [editline]23rd February 2011[/editline] I mean really, come on now. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1439918/Pics/2011-02-23_1650.png[/img]
I don't use Linux as much, thats why i use mint, it is simple. I can't find Linux in there, and rate me dumb, even if it has to do somewhere in the ubuntu part, can someone help.
sudo apt-get install mono-runtime
I'm really happy it's quite lightweight and not a resource hog like steam, but I'm not going to use it because of all its missing features
It's made to be a chat client, not a second "Steam" The few features that I see that are missing are Group Chat, Accepting friend invites, sending friend invites, that's about it...
Finally. Thank you, this works wonderfully. I was so tired of STEAM not opening up chats correctly (in the background, where I couldn't even view them).

(I can't hear any if they exist)
This could turn into something really really awesome (more so than it is now), provided VoiDeD keeps working on it (or others), even though he has like 50 projects going.
This is useful for chating on my school laptop which has damn admin restrictions not enabling me to download steam.
This is great for my laptop, which uses Ubuntu.
