Firstly, get a steam development key from here: http://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

Then work out what you need to do as far as HTTP requests from the API documentation here:
http://steamcommunity.com/dev

Alternatively, you can use the web resources described here without the need for an apikey:
https://partner.steamgames.com/docum...community_data

Once you've found all the requests you need, learn Qml from here:
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qml-tutorial.html

And you should be able to write the app in no time at all.

Also, no, none of my apps are related to gaming, I own an XBox 360 for that and don't have a steam account. Which is another reason I can't develop this application.

Also, I find it hard to get enthused to do anything for a little gobshite like yourself, but I do however feel compelled to help you do it yourself. As I like to teach people.

Though, I may be willing to write this app for you if you paid me to do it. I'd do it for £100

£100 O:

This was my face until I remembered the actual cost of commercial app development is in it's thousands.

Why is a steam app needed this badly? I've been playing a whole month (Girlfriend bought me Orange Box. I now love it) and I have no friends on it. I didn't even realise you could chat

The app would be free, but I'd need incentive to do it ;) And considering this guys attitude I would require that kind of incentive. Otherwise I would have been interested, and done it for free. But no one else seems to bothered about this functionality. So ... I have other stuff to do :)

No, you're not doing it because you're not capable of doing it. If you'd spent as much time learning how to do it yourself:

a) You'd have more respect from us and for yourself.
b) You'd have this application you desire so much.
c) You'd be able, in future, to write these kinds of apps yourself.
