Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Petrus, the developer behind RunMessenger. I built RunMessenger because I missed the simple feeling of classic instant messaging — seeing your friends come online, starting a conversation, sending a nudge, and just knowing who was around. So I decided to bring that feeling back, but rebuild it for 2026. 💬 RunMessenger combines the nostalgic messenger experience with modern features like groups, GIFs, activity status, themes, desktop notifications, PWA support and a Community for public discussions. You can use it instantly on the web or download it for Windows and Mac. I’d love to hear from you: **What is the one feature or memory from classic messengers that you miss the most?** And if you try RunMessenger, please tell me what you think — feedback, ideas and even criticism are very welcome. 🚀
