Recently I've been thinking that it'd be pretty neat to create a forum theme or plugin that's similar in style to SMS. This thought lead me to two ideas :
- We could create a plugin that designates a forum as an SMS chat forum. Topics in this forum will be turned into chats and messaging would be in real time, similar to the chatbox. (see draft below)
Old : https://gist.github.com/SethClydesdale/31f2d81947026ff294cf41785a068ee6 - The second idea I had would be to create a new forum theme in this style. Needless to say the theme will mostly be for chat based forums, since the focus is on short messages and a minimal design ; topics will pretty much look like my above example for the chat plugin.
I'd be willing to work on both of these, but I would like to see what the community thinks first. Would you be interested in using an SMS style chat plugin or forum theme if it were available ? Let me know your thoughts, or feel free to share your ideas if you have any ; I'd personally like to make this a collaborative community project.
