I was an AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) user for many years. I started in the early 2000s on dial-up and made friends and learned about the Internet. It factored into my technology career today.
As a side project I developed an AIM clone with Node.js and web sockets, using original bitmaps and sounds. One can choose fonts, colors, and buddy icons just like the source.
I ran a server over TLS with a few friends for a while. It was a lot of fun and I am proud of it.
