web.skype.com

I normally use ubuntu for everything I do. Mostly because I am a software developer. One challenge I find with ubuntu is that most software written for ubuntu is not pleasing to the eye. At least my eye.

I generally like chat applications that look pretty. But the linux client for skype can't compare to the Mac and Windows clients. You can imagine how excited I was when I heard of web.skype.com, the skype web client.

I can't receive calls from the web client but honestly the user interface is really pretty. I used it from google chrome and with google chrome I get equally pretty notifications. Clicking the notifications leads me to the skype tab and to the chat where the notification originated from.

Despite the fact that calls dont work. I still like having web.skype.com open when I am at work.
