Is there a way to interact easily with a native messaging client (for example Pidgin) when using Node.js ?
I tried to create a simple chat system with the XMPP protocol with Node.js (with https://github.com/astro/node-xmpp then https://github.com/amiadogroup/candy). But I didn't work and it was complicated.
You can use another protocol like IRC. Relevant node module: node-irc
