Hello, my name is Gregg (u/Gatekeeper1310). I’m a subscriber to this subreddit and a mod on r/ customhearthstone. I work as a Full Stack Web Developer for the Air Force. I have no official ties to Blizzard or its games, I’m just a fan of Hearthstone.
In my recent spare time, I developed a small chat application for Hearthstone called Hearthstone Chat. You can instantly chat with Hearthstone opponents that also have this application.
Highlights: Only one file needs to be downloaded, no installation is required, no registration is required, no setup is required, no chat logs are stored, automatic updates, on Windows only.
The README goes into more detail about the application but it works by reading your local Hearthstone game log (similar to deck trackers out there) to find you and your opponent’s BattleTags. It combines the BattleTags to create a unique chat ID. It sends this chat ID to the web handler that puts you in a chatroom where only messages sent by both of you can be seen in there.
I developed this only a few days ago so it’s still very basic and unrefined. I’m seeking as many testers as possible to stress test my chat server, suggest new features, and discover bugs. The most common issue arises if/when a user has their Hearthstone directory in a nonstandard location (see the Troubleshooting section in the README). I would greatly appreciate it if you would leave a message in this thread or PM me with your issues and feedback.
Since this application is only as good as the number of players using it, it’s crucial that I make it simple, accessible, fun, and easy to operate and that we encourage as many peers to download and use it.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to chatting with you all during some Hearthstone games!
