What is Smores?
Smores is a Windows application I created to improve my experience with Campfire, a group based chat software from the folks at 37Signals. I welcome everyone to participate in its growth by offering feature suggestions, reporting bugs and telling everyone you know that uses Campfire on a Windows box!
Smores is actively developed and supported. Try it out for yourself!
License Cost
What is the right payment for you? I realize not every person will use the software as much as another so I give you a selection of different payment amounts.
Feel free to try out Smores before you purchase a license!
After making a payment, you will receive an activation code that will make the in-app payment reminder go away.
