Room owners can set custom backgrounds and even custom cursors for their chat rooms. Users can format their messages with basic markdowns such as bold/italic/colored text like we used to, and I even brought back the original Yahoo! Messenger emoticons because why not?

Here are some screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/Ks29qoH

I’m thinking about adding:

• Audibles • A buddy list so you can add friends • Private chats between buddies

Before I go any further, I figured I’d ask here - what do you all think? Any memories from Yahoo! Messenger days that you wish were brought back? Features I should add or change?

Would really love any feedback or ideas!
