Alternative to your desktop client.

I would love this for Windows. I've missed a Windows client since Trillian/Pidgin couldn't keep up with proprietary features, and Facebook discontinued its own messenger application.

I found out about Goofy a couple of months ago and when I'm at my desk, I don't have to use my phone at all for messaging (except for whatsapp).

Now I'd wish someone would do the same for Gmail chat / Hangouts, or maybe a way to combine all the webviews into one ;)

  • Hangouts new chrome extension, the one with float circles, it's pretty good, and works on Linux.

    • Unfortunately it doesn't work well on OS X and still requires me to run Chrome in background next to the Firefox leading to alot of annoying horrible window switching issues (for some reason chrome apps tend to get stuck in background when alt-tabbing, sometimes it just hangs, burns alot of memory for a really simple interface....)
