Public Beta of "Public Contact List"

Well, as you said, it could automatically detect the language of the conversation history file.
But for gender, what if the script compares the name (if any real name is available) to a global database of names with their associated gender? Maybe that would work but we would need to find that database first, and then deal with made up names and it would be a hassle, but I’ll leave the idea here…

problem will be that I have to do a lot of JScript work arounds to get such advanced things working.

I know, I just dropped the idea here in case in the future we figure out an easier way to achieve this

What’s the window for? I meant the script could send the contact data directly to the server and the latter would be responsible for processing and putting everything in a nice table of something

That’s my attempt of opening an UI window in MsgrPlus

This looks like a really useful tool to be brought to the Escargot community. Maybe even one of the most useful tools yet.

I have seen too many people getting excited for MSN coming back, going through the work of downloading and installing it, just to feel unmotivated afterwards due to the lack of contacts on their list. Since it’s still a growing community, the more contacts you have the better, as you have a larger pool of people in which you can find individuals that you actually like to talk to =D

If there is a possibility to somehow import all the contacts that have already been made available through Contacts sharing threads in MessengerGeek such as these (1, 2, 3), the list will get bigger pretty quick. Would there be a way to sort the list by Language, so people can easily add others that speak their idiom? Having a “sort by last logged in” would be really useful aswell.

That’s exactly what I asked, people suggest what should be added. I still want to add the script/plugin to Messenger, to make stuff even better.

Installation of your Messenger is corrupt or something. The COM library isn’t registered properly

Now tell me who typed hello into the language field.

I see somebody had the fun of the their life decompiling the program and seeing how the API works.

But I have Postman and I can do shit to my own API as well. And even edit the data file too.

Time to to look into the request log shouldn’t I?

The issue has been resolved, and I’ll look into re-coding the API, while that the server is still online. @Gamerappa

I was the one who was developing something like this. One of the problems is that if you use a real email address it’s open to spam. In theory you could use anything to log in with but since I developed a php/sql/html5 online version my spam increased due to using a real email address.

This kind of service is open massively to abuse and I know why MSN took this service down now. My version is still online it’s just hidden out the way until I thought more about the process and how to achieve it. I removed all of my posts that involved this service.

You brought me another security idea, assign to contacts an id which therefore can request the email address of it

Be careful with spam abuse. It’s open way bigger than you think. In the UK collecting email addresses under GDPR we wouldn’t be allowed to collect data like this I don’t think unless we advertise a disclaimer!

This is another reason I stopped the project!

Craftplace: I like your way miles better than mine! How do people go about adding to the list though? Do they need to email one email address so it can be manually added? I have just tested this app. It’s developing nicely.

They click on [ My profile ] and then check the “:ballot_box_with_check: Public” checkbox, after closing the window your contact will appear publicly on the list. Unchecking it would remove you again.

For anyone interested

To-Do list for 2.0

  • Better API
    • Token system
    • Claiming of email addresses via password
    • Banning of things
    • Not sending email addresses on listing of members
  • MessengerPlus helper plugin
  • Client application
    • Login and registration screen
    • GDPR notice

Good list, try to improve security / legislation. Make sure you on the right side of the law.

I would like to help but don’t know API. Heck I was new to PHP/SQL when I start doing my method.
