Thank you for the mention!

My interest in messaging was just to be able to send messages to other people in a way which can be thought of as Poor Man's E-Mail, which is why the 0.001 HP bounces from sender to sender.

But first, let's discuss what we are going to build.

There is no need to make a copy, we can create a better version, add more features over time, but first we could start from the basics and add extras later.

Would Hive Keychain be the only method for providing credentials, or would additional options such as Hivesigner be allowed?

I ask because it is possible for one form of access to fail while another would be more successful. This is a situation I'm encountering with the D.Buzz microblogging platform; As a workaround I use PeakD with Hivesigner to post to D.Buzz instead of the native D.Buzz front-end.

I'm not saying this will happen here, but it is a situation to keep in mind.
