Someone told me it would be easy to do, at least the chat. I really can't offer anything, but I'd appreciate it anyway.

So you want someone to magically make one?

No, I would appreciate someone to code one.
Not "Magic" at all.

Sorry let me re-phrase my sarcastic response to something easier to understand:

So you want someone to magically make one for you without you doing so much as lifting a finger?

I've never before seen a single Steam Chat client that isn't, ya know, Steam. No integration with Trillian, or Pidgin, or a Jabber plugin; nothing. They've got their API pretty tightly locked down. I'd REALLY suggest asking your friend what exactly he means when he says it "would be easy to do"

After doing a quick Google search, the closest thing I can find is an Android app that was released 3 weeks ago. Somehow it lets you chat with friends, and the sign-in process is similar to authorizing a new computer to sign into Steam.

EDIT: My mistake, I now see one on the iPhone App Store as well, but it's made directly by Valve, so no help there.

Rasism...You won't allow mages to help? PFFF >_<

DanTheManMS is right, Valve is so locked and aliened from community...they say "no" for Mac, Linux...so why "yes" to DS?
They want us to use only Windows and "scram" even that after test many MANY games works fine with combo Wine + Steam + Game...so it's not problem of doing compatibility stuff...it's about "we don't want because we are idiots"

There IS a mac version of Steam.
And I'm asking for Homebrew, not an official release.

[iSubaru]

They did for Mac after all? o_O
I heard they wanted to fall back from it or something...

[Rydian]

Not only is there steam for mac, but Valve ported a bunch of their major games to OSX. TF2, Half-life/Portal series, and more.

But yeah, no API = not easy.

[iSubaru]

Then I apologize, I have old informations then, last thing I heard was that they want to drop (oh yes "drop" word not "fall back") from Mac OS X support, good to know they didn't do that...NOW LINUX TIME >_<

They also mentioned they have no plans for Linux.

[iSubaru]

Kevan - that's the part I can't get to my mind, It has been proven thousand times that if something is ported to Windows and Mac OS X, then it will work on Linux no matter what (Wine as third-party, and natively if someone would do it) so I don't get it WHY Valve cuts their money out, if they would make Linux version they automatically gain more customers...it's really...stupid...

By the way in what would it be useful on nds?
Just use another IM or simply use irc
Most teams never uses the steam chat, and why would you need it if you are not playing?

I've got several friends who I can only contact on IM via Steam or Facebook messenger, and of the two, I'd like to use Steam.
