IRC Chat?
-
I am a Slack advocate for sure, and would probably join a "team" if it were put together. It's most of what I love about IRC, with an interface built this millennium
Archival and searchability might still be a concern as the free version only allows you to browse/search the latest 10k messages from what I understand.
-
I've used Slack and HipChat a few places. They are okay but I'm not in love with either of them.
-
Rocket.chat looks interesting. It's an open source version.

I have thought of setting up something to connect the kids iPads too.. not anything outside of my control. so that I can harass them from time to time when they are playing Mine Craft.
There are few plugins for Minecraft that allow you to inject IRC into the chat system.

That's pretty cool. Can you have one IRC that crosses several MC instances? I suspect that you can. That would be interesting.

An Android and iPhone app for ML would be really cool. It would be relatively easy to make. Just use an in app browser that points to ML, the app could have push notifications, its own chat, links to your blog sites, etc.
-
An ML app would be neat. Should not be "that" much effort (says the guy who has never made an iOS app before.) There are APIs for nearly everything so grabbing the posts and posting should only be so hard.
I've thought about playing around with a really basic starter app that just allows you to "Twitter post" to the "What Are You Doing Now" thread directly, no need to do anything, just type in your message and post.
Currently there is no posting API exposed, but there is a plugin to expose it, so in theory it would work fine. The included API is reading only.

Yes, they are plugins that login to an IRC server, the plugin is basically just a client.

Neat, would be really awesome if there was one for PocketMine, that way I could talk to all of my kids and nieces and nephews while they are in game together without having to sit at a MineCraft Pocket client to do it.

I don't think there is one (didn't see the iPad reference before). That would be a cool project though.

They do but it is marked as outdated:

Ah, what is Pocketmine at now 1.6?
-
Yes, 1.6 is what I am running.

I've done iphone apps through an app builder before. They aren't the prettiest apps, but they are relatively fast and get the job done.
Here is the google playstore link to my app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appmakr.bciffishing
Iphone app. It is published by Infinite monkeys (app builder) so I didn't have to pay the $100 developer fee.
