The original decline was a 3rd party Hotline client for Mac OS X that I developed back in 2012.
The source code to the original version of decline has long since disappeared into the ether but that’s probably a good thing since it was a buggy mess 😅
But thankfully I’ve learned a few things since then and my vision of decline persists in this re-imagined version for modern macOS!
The following core features are currently implemented :
- Chat
- Private Messaging
- Plain News
- File Browsing
- File Downloads (stop/resume/queueing not yet working)
The following core features are currently unimplemented but planned :
- Threaded News
- File Uploads
- Folder Uploads
- Folder Downloads
The following commands are currently recognized by the Chat input field:
/icon [new icon number]
Example: /icon 148
/me [chat text to emote]
Example: /me is catching up on chat
/msg [nickname of user to message] [your private message]
Example: /msg dubsdotla I am talking to myself
/nick [new nickname]
Example: /nick decline n00b
More commands are in the works!
- The option to show the Userlist on the right side of the Chat view
This is absolutely wild and groundbreaking I know, please contain your excitement
- Automatic saving and loading of chat and private messages
Okay so this one is a pretty killer feature, I probably should have started with this one 🤣
There’s probably more that I’m forgetting but that’s all I have for now!
