This isn't working for me, after logging in it looks like this:

While I appreciate the work you've put into this, why should I use this over messenger.com?

edit to add: by which I mean "what's your main selling point?"

That's what I'm trying to figure out too. For that matter, why couldn't I just take the messenger.com site and wrap it in a Chrome app myself (which is what this looks like anyway)? That way at least, I can be reasonably sure I'm not leaking my FB credentials to a third party. I know the average user won't know how to do that, but then the average user would just launch messenger.com in their browser anyway.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, who is this for?

You call your own creation 'beautiful'? Isn't beauty in the eye of the beholder?

Can you make an RPM for Fedora?

Tough crowd in here. I for one think this looks great and will definitely be checking it out.

FWIW I much rather use Messages app to connect to everything.

then all my messages are in 1 native app. iMessage, Gtalk, FB, Text messages, etc…

The app isn't signed for OSX. You have to adjust security settings to install. :/
