ArrowChat

Version 4.0 is already in the works and we need your help!

The desktop UI is stale. We are planning on a huge design change that will bring it up to the year 2020. With this design change, it is a possibility that we remove support for applications. Not only does this allow us to do some really cool things, but it would also improve the loading speed.

I am looking for everyone's thoughts on this. Do you use applications? Would you be disappointed if they were removed?

new customer here.. well personally I'am not using the apps feature. I don't mind if they were removed because I just need the chat function.. let see what other's in mind

Nope, I don't even have the full bar anymore. So I won't miss it the apps. To be honest I personally see it as bloat anyway.

By the way, I am loving the fresh new look on the main site. Top notch stuff there, Jason. Question is, is will 4.0 even be released in 2020?

Very likely

As i mentioned on facebook post already, I don't use applications and I see it as bloat too.

Very happy to hear it!
Arrowchat currently is the only viable solution for chat on sites in the world! And with new updates and support it will become better and remain number 1!

I never saw any use for applications, people need chat. If they need to play a game or use some app they will just go do that on the app/site its availabe no need to add that to the chat, its also a distraction for users from your site!

Also not bothered about the apps. Sounds exciting!

I see the apps as outdated as well.

The only one I think is good is the Google translate app.

Hopefully, a framework can be implemented; so, there is a possibility for the creation of apps in the future.

I would say get rid of some of the apps to simplify it, but maybe just rewrite the key ones like translate into a Plugin via your new API? SOmething that makes it easy "plug and play" or On/off .

I agree, keep the google translate or somehow integrate it. Best thing ever for communicating.

for the app integration functions, instead each user that needs this function could just use a translator browser extension/plugin. more functions, more reliable and up to date, more effective.

Can you recommend one? JT Translate doesn't seem to work with Arrowchat

i don't know. how about google translator etc. :)

I'd definitely like to implement a better solution for translation.

When is the v4.0 preview or full release?

I believe that these applications are outdated. Bots are what really matters. Autoresponders that can work as support. At least something simple, like the bot's response to the user's keywords, and it would be very cool. Strictly my opinion.

Totally agree with the previous comments, I've the apps disabled, and the only I would be interested (some kind of translation tool and some kind of chatbot for support) should be integrated in the same chat/chatrooms.

+1. Any news?

Still working. Finalizing the new UI right now.

Thank you. That sounds good. When we could expect 4.0 release? First half of 2021? Second Half of 2021?
