GroupMe Desktop Client

A desktop application for the GroupMe messaging service. Written in Python 3 and wxPython (Phoenix). Uses Groupy, an excellent GroupMe API wrapper for Python 3.

Why?

I think a native desktop group chat client makes a team (especially of programmers) much more productive. I set out to build a chat client like that of HipChat, but this is a long way from that.

Development environment setup

  1. Create an application on GroupMe. Fill in the required details. Any URL should work for the Callback URL, but for some reason localhost does not.
  2. Install Python 3 (with pip)
  3. Install dependencies
    pip install -r requirements.txt
  4. Copy src/config_template.py to src/config.py
  5. Copy and paste the Redirect URL and Callback URL from the details page of the GroupMe application you just created into the relevant places in src/config.py.
