I am working on most of these things.
I just wanted to have some working code quickly to show off and to keep myself motivated.
I have now decided to make the messenger only a plugin module for a bigger project;
A steem gaming wallet, where users can challenge each other to battleships, chess, or dice (turn-based games).

What does it take for you to join Discord ?
We all abandoned steemit.chat.
The community misses you in DACH :)
