No reason to get excited folks - its YAEC (yet another electron component).

Me: Wouldn't it be great if we had a light-weight native chat app that was compatible with all of the many slow-resource intensive chat programs i am chained to?

Everyone else: We have solved your problem by creating a new standard resource intensive chat program that solves none of your problems! Also it has cool animations!

You: I’m too lazy to do much more than wine about my problems. Everyone else: well, we’re just going to hang out over here with the solution. Come join us when your done whining.

I am excited by this project and so are a few people I showed it to.

I have 3 or 4 of these messengers open at any given time. Resource consumption has never been an issue for me - needing to have multiple "talk to people" windows/programs for what I consider the same task annoys me every single day.

Well at least you only have to run one, instead of many.

XMPP ?

Alas there are no video-chat programs out there that actually work well : /

aTalk on Android (XMPP client) works well for voice/video chat. It looks ugly though :)

Pidgin with plugins. Lots of plugins.
