I’ve been working on a remote access solution, much like Trillian Anywhere (but that never worked right for me), with the ability to access the currently open conversations from a web browser. The target is the iPhone/iTouch, but it’s simple to port to other browsers.
Here’s my teaser pic:
Is anyone here interested in something like this? I’ve asked over at the digsby.com forums, and not had much of a response, aside from developers.

May 14, 2008 at 5:29 am #169374DavidParticipantI’m not going to publicly discuss how it works yet. But basically, you run an application on your computer, which acts as a web server which can be connected to remotely. You access the webpage and get a list of all open conversation windows. You can read whatever is in the window (anything sent while you were gone, for example), as well as reply. When you return to the computer, the window will include the conversation you had remotely.
I’ve wanted this for a long time, and the idea is that you can be in the middle of a conversation, and then move to a different room, while monitoring/holding the conversation. This isn’t like meebo where you have to login remotely, you are accessing your session.
I’m going to try and work with the Digsby development team and see if I can’t get some sort of hook into the application in order to get more features supported.

What kind of help do you need?
