About the creator

Our pre-alpha has launched and we're moving at a fast pace, but we definitely need more support.

Аватары (Buddy-иконки) уже здесь, и не только!

Привет, друзья!
Важно в первую очередь: Если вам нравится этот проект и вы хотите, чтобы он продолжил своё существование, нам очень важна ваша помощь. В прошлом месяце у нас практически не было пожертвований, кроме полученных с Patreon/Boosty и, к сожалению, несколько подпискок было отменено. Нам нужно срочно собрать $753 (65876 ₽), поможет любая копейка, поэтому подумайте о пожертвовании. Взамен мы даём награды и предоставляем ранний доступ, подробнее на https://nina.chat/donate/.
Помните, доступ к AIM (или конвертация аккаунта Escargot для возможности пользоваться AIM) или ICQ стоит всего $5, и чем больше будет пользователей, тем быстрее мы закроем сбор.
У нас вышло внушительных масштабов обновление (в плане изменений, несмотря на непривычную краткость списка), но это только первая фаза в цепочке обновлений, которые будут выходить в ближайшие дни. Если сообщённая вами проблема не упомянута здесь, то она может быть исправлена в пятничном/субботнем обновлении.

Weekly update, a few days late but still great

Firstly dear boosters, I want to apologize that we are a few days late on the weekly update, but there are some things we wanted to test and make sure were working before we updated. The next weekly update should be on time and, baby, it's going to be a good one.
By the way if you aren't a booster and/or want to help support us further, please consider donating, it will keep the service always updating, always improving, and always alive. For more information on donating, including support options aside from Boosty, see: https://nina.chat/donate/

This.. last two weeks in updates

Hello buddies,
Some new AOL/AIM/ICQ service updates and fixes!
As you may have noticed we didn't have a weekly update last week, that's because we're working on a lot and have a fair amount to show today. We're also going to have a minor update mid-week as well since we have a lot of things nearly-complete. If you're seeing this post and haven't subscribed or donated, we need your help, so please consider, and learn more about benefits here: https://nina.chat/donate

This week in updates: chat updates, keywords, and other fixes!

Hello buddies,
We meant it when we said there'd be at least weekly updates. This last week was a lot of building out backend features to improve stability and make it easier to build other client features, so not a lot to show off this week, but still worth talking about.
Updates:
* AOL: Added ability to ignore people in chat rooms, double click their screenname for options
* AOL: Favorite button now appears on chat window for easy saving/sharing of rooms
* AOL: Initial keyword requests supported, currently few keywords but more will be added fairly often

AOL 4.0 now available for alpha users!

We're happy to announce that our server now is compatible with AOL 4.0, the real deal, not a copy or "emulation", and it's now available to our beautiful supporters in tiers with alpha access. In all of it's glory, it's here; there's IMs, chat rooms, and more and more coming soon with regular updates.

Updates in the last week

Updates:
* Connection count now shown on the NINA web site
* Mobile clients now marked with icon on supported clients (including the iOS/Android apps!)
* Improved support for original native Linux AIM client
* ICQ 7 and 8 work, patch will be available soon
* Member directory for newer versions of AIM and ICQ completed and functional
* Implemented AIM directory/profile search and create/update
* Buddy search and profile on AIM completed
* Original aim:translate:url_here or aim:translate?url=url_here works again in old clients for the first time since the late 90s, simply forwards to Google translate for now
* "Sign-On a Friend" invitation feature in AIM now working; emails will be sent out periodically due to our current outbound email limitations -- for now it's faster to tell your friends directly
Fixes:
* AIM profile update lag fixed (reported by nick99nack)
* Away and idle time lag fixed
* Fixed search results on ICQ 6
* Fixed obscure ICQ login issues

AIM apps -- now working

Hey hey hey, I know a lot of you care about apps, and AIM, and boy have we got news for you!
All the official AIM apps are confirmed to be working, right now, on NINA. iOS and Android!
And hey, the last version of AIM works even on modern iPhones (albeit with some bugs, like not being able to handle the full screen), but it works. It's awesome.
On Android it works too, take a look at some of these screenshots!
We're working really hard on everything, right now we're the only ones that have the apps working, AIM Express works too (even on a PS3!), and we support all three major ways to connect to our AIM Network (OSCAR, TOC, WIM), and it's only gonna get better from here.
We're also working on full ICQ support, including directory, and much more.
Escargot isn't being let down either, we're working hard behind the scenes. Stay tuned! :)

What's coming soon?

We're working on a lot of things related to AIM and ICQ.
These updates will come all at once because they all depend on each other. Fun!
AIM
Regarding AIM we have a lot of stuff coming up. Fixes to presence are coming soon which hopefully will fix all those deadlocks we're having.
Another way more fun feature is WebAPI/WIM. WIM was another way for clients to connect to the AIM network, like TOC was. However, it's way easier to use, because it's all HTTP based!
What clients used WebAPI? AIM Express -- the Flash version - used it. Oh, and the mobile apps! iOS and Android apps, for instance, use it. Will they work now, then? Maybe!
WebAPI is also very cool because you will be able to have lil widgets that you can put on your website that show if you're online. And in the future, people will be able to IM you (anonymously) right from your website (if you so choose to do that, of course!)
