What is Aerochat?

Aerochat, also known as wlm-09-discord, is an open-source conversion project for Discord that transforms its look and feel into something reminiscent of Windows Live Messenger (MSN Messenger). Designed for fans of the early 2000s instant messaging era, Aerochat combines modern Discord functionality with the nostalgic aesthetics and features of WLM 2009.

What Can Aerochat Do?

Aerochat keeps the core features of Discord, such as servers, emojis, and messaging, while restoring iconic elements from Windows Live Messenger:

• Nudges – The playful “attention grabber” feature makes its return.
• Classic Interface – Aerochat mimics the retro UI of WLM, creating a familiar environment for users who miss the old-school messaging experience.
• Customization Options – Users can further tweak the design to fit their preferences while retaining Discord’s powerful modern capabilities.

Open Source & Community-Driven

One of Aerochat’s standout features is its community involvement. Being an open-source project, users can:

• Contribute features and bug fixes.
• Participate in discussions and polls within the official Discord server.
• Help shape the future of Aerochat, including voting on major decisions like its name (which changed from “wlm-09-discord” thanks to community feedback).

The domain name, aerochat.live, also reflects the collaborative spirit of the project, being selected by its dedicated userbase.
