    Programmer(s) Wanted for Chat Client Development

    Mate1.com is looking to develop a installable chat client for windows. We currently offer a flash based chat client, but that has some technical limitations we wish to overcome as well as to offer our members the ability to chat without having to be logged into the website.

    We are primarily interested in having this coded in C/C++ although we would consider other languages that are reasonably portable.

    This is a contract position, although it could turn into a long term position.

    Contact me at [email protected] is you think you've got what it takes.

        You know us, we don't hype ourselves as a company much. I'm glad you've heard of Mate1 though!

          We're not opposed to .NET or Argentinians. Have you don't any IM programming before?

                Take a look at the Jabber library. A free open source chat library. There's a lot of clients already built for it (some downloadable, some java applets) and the server software is free as well. I think www.jabber.org is the link, otherwise google it.

                  At this point jabber isn't really an option. The communcation protocol has already been established and is in use on the existing chat server and flash-based client. Even it we were to go with jabber, we'd still need someone to code the client to our specifications.

                        I know how secretive you like to be, but outside of adult I didn't know you had such a big presence. I've seen Mate1 on tons of media buy location hotspots so you're doing a great job

                              Do you use IRC protocol or something else?
                              My programmer has done chat client over IRC server in the past, he can put something simple together pretty fast.
                              Below is the sample of the chat, it's integrated in a private app. The chat is done purposely with very simple interface for not too computer savvy people.

                                  Interesting....

                                  Stay away from Jabber... you have very liitle control over it...
                                  I was gonna use it but lack security that I wanted...

                                  Heres some caps of what I am working on...

                                  Full IM system as well.... all 100% custom.... Client and Server..

                                  Server tested on my local machine can handle 3500 transaction/sec

                                  Server : Windows Service using Mysql Backend (Physical size1.1 Megs)
                                  4Megs Mem used - no clients.
                                  Client connection requires and 32k per user.
                                  Fulling scaleable - Enterprise (clusterable).
                                  SSL Enabled. (client to server and server to server)
                                  By Clustering Mysql and the Server the user limit
                                  will really only be limited by your bandwidth.

                                  Client : Can be anything you can dream of.... but here a few shots of
                                  the one I am playing with right now.. Its an MDI app.
                                  (most windows open within the base window, except a bunch
                                  of Profile editors, Settings, Buddy List, Cam Preview ect..)
                                  Video in the client can be default size, or what ever the
                                  user wants.. Full screen is available as well.


                                  I know, I know.. Im an ugly fuck.. lol but ....

                                  Ok this is kinda like Yahoo - View Webcam only it took some vitamins



                                  Heres the setting screen for that.





                                  Here a couple of shot of the chat client....

                                  Full URL and Animated Emotes... Emotes are load from an external package
                                  and can be changed by the users. I have only loaded the Yahoo Pack here




                                  As you can see it also has live spelling..... and "Speed Text"




                                  All URLS sent in the program use an internal browser that I have full control over (popup blocking, URL blocking ect...) Shift right click will not open in the default, I capture the call and open it in the internal broswer




                                  And as you can see its fully skinable... and skins can be change on the fly by the user or the system. This is only one part the system, there is a lot more to what I playing with. As I said.. the sky is pretty much the limit..

                                  Oh and I had Voice Over talent do some voice overs so on differnt event
                                  you hear and see the event... ie Kicked, Banned.. Login, Disconnect ect..


                                  here are a couple of samples.... should give you the idea...

                                  Banned

                                  Kicked

                                  I use this for some good happening

                                  any ways... hit me up if you want to talk....

                                          oh and for security reasons.. the chat display is NOT really a browser..
                                          It understands most of the basic HTML but no scripting, ActiveX ect...

                                          It will not pull outside images... ect ect....

                                          so there is no chance of users messing with the system that way...

                                              Stay away from Jabber... you have very liitle control over it...
                                              I was gonna use it but lack security that I wanted...

                                              Heres some caps of what I am working on...

                                              Full IM system as well.... all 100% custom.... Client and Server..

                                              Server tested on my local machine can handle 3500 transaction/sec

                                              Server : Windows Service using Mysql Backend (Physical size1.1 Megs)
                                              4Megs Mem used - no clients.
                                              Client connection requires and 32k per user.
                                              Fulling scaleable - Enterprise (clusterable).
                                              SSL Enabled. (client to server and server to server)
                                              By Clustering Mysql and the Server the user limit
                                              will really only be limited by your bandwidth.

                                              Client : Can be anything you can dream of.... but here a few shots of
                                              the one I am playing with right now.. Its an MDI app.
                                              (most windows open within the base window, except a bunch
                                              of Profile editors, Settings, Buddy List, Cam Preview ect..)
                                              Video in the client can be default size, or what ever the
                                              user wants.. Full screen is available as well.


                                              I know, I know.. Im an ugly fuck.. lol but ....

                                              Ok this is kinda like Yahoo - View Webcam only it took some vitamins



                                              Heres the setting screen for that.





                                              Here a couple of shot of the chat client....

                                              Full URL and Animated Emotes... Emotes are load from an external package
                                              and can be changed by the users. I have only loaded the Yahoo Pack here




                                              As you can see it also has live spelling..... and "Speed Text"




                                              All URLS sent in the program use an internal browser that I have full control over (popup blocking, URL blocking ect...) Shift right click will not open in the default, I capture the call and open it in the internal broswer




                                              And as you can see its fully skinable... and skins can be change on the fly by the user or the system. This is only one part the system, there is a lot more to what I playing with. As I said.. the sky is pretty much the limit..

                                              Oh and I had Voice Over talent do some voice overs so on differnt event
                                              you hear and see the event... ie Kicked, Banned.. Login, Disconnect ect..


                                              here are a couple of samples.... should give you the idea...

                                              Banned

                                              Kicked

                                              I use this for some good happening

                                              any ways... hit me up if you want to talk....
