Yes I'm dissapointed as well. I tried despirately to get Lee to use the Nexus webpage to update the progress on Nexus but he never logged in. Then I gave him the site for the bug tracker and he never signed up. I had a feeling this was going downhill around that time. I put a lot of work into building, tweaking and even paying for the webhost but unfortunately, I felt like it shouldn't have been worth my time.

I kept at it though. Trying to balance work, girlfriend, a clan, a blog AND Nexus (some sleep here and there also) was successful for a bit. I now see 0 people out of the 6 working on the nexus project online.

Yet again I would say "anyone wanna pick up this project?" but I have no code in my hands (except for a quick back up that Rus made me do for his part).

It is pathetic actually. Lot of programmers here promise all kind of cool things (I still hear Lee saying adding webcam support will be a walk in the park....), but they never deliver.

Only a hand full actually make what they promise.

Messengers, browsers, download managers... nothing actually gets released in an acceptable state. I gave up my hopes on this project the day the thread was started actually.

Yes luckily there are some good projects going on. Sadly this one wasn't one of them. I may be working on a messenger in the future but I won't release any details on it until it's complete or so close to complete that I need beta testers.

I've noted a lot of things that people want in this project and will keep them for the future. Don't wait for it though. i'll probably start working on it close to when my second semester of Programming starts.

Right, I haven't said much in this subject but have followed it and I am too disappointed that it's not going to be completed.

I work 5 days a week and also do a lot of voluntary work in the evenings, but I am willing to give a shot at writing a messenger like Nexus. However, I will tell you, the progress will be slow, but I will keep everyone informed of the progress.

I don't really want to continue with Nexus, I feel it may be better if a new one was started with a different name.

So if the support is there, and people want me too, I'll give it a go.

If there is support, I need suggestions for a name, people willing to tell me what features they want or would like!.

I plan to release builds when (and only when) they are stable and usable.

Also, if we go ahead I will start a new topic for this.

Cheers.

Well, that is to be seen...

Anyways, what is the use of a messenger application? There are tons of messengers out there that are great and are fully customizable.

MSN Messenger can be patched to a lean messenger which supports everything.

Yahoo Messenger is a good application.

Trillians is nice and supports practically everything.

Miranda IM is fully customizable and works great.

A new messenger wouldn't add anything.... so what is the use?

Nexus didn't even look that great, plus it didn't support much features either.

True.

But also it's fact of that the messenger you are using has been developed to some point yourself and/or your pals, ok, nexus never came off and the features may not have been like msn messanger, but it had at one stage huge support, indicatiing some need for a simplified version of a messenger.

The additional point is that you can add your own fetaures into it too (depending on what u want to do!).

Anyway, it's upto others as well if there is support it I will get going on it, if not, then we will leave be.

Do we want another messenger to be developed or not?

lol no i dont think we need another messenger project, i see the Nova Messenger project has gone quiet too, even if someone did start another Messenger project like this one, i probably wouldnt follow it..

Nexus messenger was only interesting because it looked good.

(Well thats the only reason i was interested anyway)

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
