How does this compare to Franz or Rambox?
Alexander Flatter
@bentossell First of all, both Franz and Rambox are great apps. Our take on this topic is a little bit different, as All-in-One Messenger is a Chrome app. This means that Chrome is required, but it makes the app size a lot smaller. In addition to that: * The app passed the review of the Chrome webstore * Facebook Messenger calls (video/audio) just work. * You can use multiple Google Hangout instances. * It runs on Chrome OS. * It updates automatically.

@aflatter cool. I'll be sure to give it a test run :)

@bentossell i like that the app doesn't need any permissions (camera and mic are optional) :)

@aflatter but how is it substantially different from Franz?
Alexander Flatter
@bedobry Hi Eugene, the basic idea is the same, it's a multi messenger based on the concept that all popular messaging platforms provide a web client. Our app piggybacks on Chrome, which makes it a little bit slimmer and also makes our target audience a different one.

Hello hunters, we've worked on this for the last couple of weeks and it's slowly gaining traction. It started as a side project because we all loved the idea so much as we're wrestling with many different communication platforms each day. It's very interesting to see that while mobile apps tend to become native, a lot of these platforms are using the web on desktop computers. That's what allows All-in-One Messenger to provide the same experience as intended by the platform provider. There's currently around 4.5k users and we have received a lot of positive feedback, especially from Chrome OS users. Developing a Chrome app allowed us to focus on things like getting audio and video to work properly (for Google Hangouts and Facebook calls) instead of setting up a cross-platform build and deployment infrastructure.

@aflatter This is a really good idea! It's always nice to have everything in one place. Really looking forward to trying it out.

@aflatter Great tool. Really enjoying it. - Any chance you'll add Linkedin Messaging? - Also, would you be able to add a "new message badge" to the icon toolbar, the same way WhatsApp windows app does it?
Alexander Flatter
@brudrrr Glad you like it! As for the "new message badge": I can definitely see how this is useful. We're already working on this, but we might face the limits of Chrome Apps here. As for LinkedIn: their messaging feature is connected to their website and can not be used separately. This is a problem for us because we would have to remove the navigation bar etc. to fit it into our app. We have been avoiding these things as they tend to break stuff. I've added your request to our issue tracker, maybe we can work something out.

How does this app is better than just opening a new chrome window with one tab by application?
HenrikWenz
@alariccalmette thanks for your question! Actually I used this method before we created All-in-One Messenger. Every time I closed Google Chrome I had to manually open these tabs again. This felt quite annoying. In addition to that All-in-One Messenger allows you to: - use multiple accounts at once, - manage desktop notification settings in one place, - manage audio settings in one place, - reorder messengers, - rename messenger tabs, - and select your messengers via System Shortcuts (e.g. CMD-Tab).

@henrikwenz Oh didn't think about the settings unification. Cool feature!
Sharon Profis
@henrikwenz @alariccalmette You mentioned shortcuts - is there a way to switch messengers via keyboard? CMD-Tab opens the system switcher.
Alexander Flatter
@sharon_profis Hi Sharon, you should be able to use the following shortcuts on OS X: To switch to a specific tab: ⌘ + 1 through ⌘ + 9 To jump to the next tab: ⌘ + Option + Tab or ⌘ + Option + Right arrow To jump to the previous tab: ⌘ + Option + Shift + tab or ⌘ + Option + Left arrow On Windows/Linux/Chrome OS, it's a little bit different: Jump to the next open tab: Alt + Ctrl + Tab Jump to the previous open tab: Alt + Ctrl + Shift + Tab Jump to a specific tab: Ctrl + 1 through Ctrl + 8 Does that help?
