Just out of curiosity - would you be interested in open source chat similar to this one, made with pytnon?
What would it take for people to switch from IRC to a website like this?
Are there some pain points of IRC that can be solved?
Because personally I like chapp a lot more than irc, and I would be happy to use a system like this, especially if it gets more developed/popular. I think it can be a lot more beautiful, have a lot of cool features, and open irc to more mainstream communities.
So I'm wondering, is everyone in tech community averse to this and will prefer to use IRC, or is there a space for a startup here?
- stbenjam 11y agoI only work on F/OSS and spend my entire day on Freenode, so I don't think really I have a need for anything else. A lot of people rave about Slack, and I think it's very unfortunate its a very closed platform. There's already http://www.mattermost.org/ http://www.mattermost.org/ a open source alternative, which I haven't tried.
