- This will include:

How to use?
Currently we're still developing pictochat3DS,
This is just an early beta release to test the capabilities of the first server.
The server may crash/restart at any moment.
In the future you'll be able to do much more,
But currently you can just chat using it.
Now we clarified that, lets begin.
- Download pictochat3DS in the download link below
- Unpack your download in the 3DS folder of your SD card.
- (location pictochat.3dsx: drive:/3ds/pictochat3DS/pictochat3DS.3dsx)
- Boot into the homebrew menu using your favorite method.
- Find and start pictochat3DS.
- If the server is available it will prompt you for a message to enter your username and press A
- (if no message appears, or an error, the server is down, or you don't have internet connection)
- You'll get a message that you're connected, and you can send messages using the A button.
- Pressing start shutdown pictochat3DS and brings you back to the homebrew menu.
Keep in mind that this is a work in progress please.

Just released the first beta test!
Doubt it's gotten much work done on it. I can't blame the devs, however. It could've been better executed, and maybe more people would've gotten interested in it. I have little understanding of sockets, and as a consequence, server development. Wish I could contribute, I might eventually, but I'm extremely lazy. Luckily I'll be spending some time off in the next few months.
You're commenting on the old WIP thread, the release thread is here:

I don't think there is any new development on it. Using the same framework as DrawAttack, I could pretty easily make a chat mode of sorts. I'm just not interested in it, and don't think enough people would be either.

After tons of work on it (before release). we realized that a 3DS chat client wasn't that good of an idea.
You think it could be better execute it?
Tell me what you will do, and i'll consider making something similar to pictochat3D or make a clean update (was my first 3DS project, have some more experience now)
Similar to pictochat, it could have different rooms. The 29 character limit for messages, which I don't remember being changed, sorry if it was, is a bummer. Drawing, like in TheCruel's DrawAttack, would be nice.
I agree a 3DS chat client isn't that good of an idea. It's not very chat-friendly, since even if you could use the system keyboard, the touchscreen isn't the best for typing stuff. An IRC client like MapleIRC is a better fit for a text-only messaging homebrew, and I probably would've gone with an IRC client instead. To make it even more interesting, 3D drawings would be cool. Something similar to the layers in Colors! 3D. I guess that'd make it more compelling.
It is 3 lines now,
A standalone homebres for 3d drawing looks more interesting to me, and it's weird that someone hasn't done this already.
But a chat client, it's just way to hard on a 3DS to write messages.
I don't know about it being that hard. Miiverse works, right? Could ease on that moderation and rules, but otherwise, the difficult part is creating "touch textbox triggers a keyboard [with animation]"-like things, especially if the goal is to imitate how the system works.
As for the standalone homebrew for 3D drawing, there's Colors! 3D, I think people are more interested in pirating than cloning that. I'm not an artist at all, but even I got it soon after it launched and had some fun with it. Hopefully more skilled people make a clone or an even better drawing homebrew.
What about 3 lines, though? As in 3x80 characters? Up to 3 LF characters? I don't get it, but if it's a decent limit, I take back what I said, and nice!
3 lines on the bottom screen of your 3DS, that is 135 characters long. long enough for a message,
This is a great idea, I loved the original it was really fun. I downloaded and tried to run it, but it freezes at a blank screen and I have to restart my old3DS. If I could get some help that would be awesome. I can't wait to start chatting. Also, is it possible to create a server for you and a group of people. I want to be able to create a server for my IP address and allow my friends to chat there. Is there some kind of file that I can make or download?

I have it. I just don't know if @Tjessx wants me to hand it over.Well I wrote a custom server for this to get it working again.
Here:
But I need the source of the homebrew app to create a new server...

Know what, I think we both decided to discontinue the project. I'll shoot you a PM.
