Crowbar - "yet another messenger revival"

Technology
1

I have been working on this project for a while now. This is Crowbar - a multiprotocol old messenger server written in NodeJS. It’s killer-feature - full interoperability between all supported protocols.

We’re aiming to implement the following protocols:

  • MSNP (MSN Messenger)
  • OSCAR (AIM, ICQ)
  • MRIM (MailRu Agent)

(and more in the future..!)

Here are some screenshots:

MSN Messenger 4.6
MSN Messenger 4.6264×649 18.3 KB

MSN Messenger 2.2
MSN Messenger 2.2242×516 4.67 KB

MailRu Agent 2.55
MailRu Agent 2.55270×670 40.7 KB

The project is still in early development, but we plan to release it before 2027. It will be fully open-source and modular (meaning that anyone will be able to develop their own protocol implementation and integrate it with the other ones without any trouble).

assuming it’s not because of half-life, it was probably named like that because crowbars are multi-purpose tools, and this is a multi-protocol server.
