Would it be possible to use this to host a Weechat instance with http://www.glowing-bear.org/ http://www.glowing-bear.org/ ? (I mean, the UI of course, but weechat itself is a bit challenging, since you need to generate an ssl cert, open some ports and whatnot.)
- paulproteus 11y agoYes -- that would work great! With a caveat -- apps have no network access in Sandstorm by default. The way apps can get network access is that (soon) there will be a way to have one program called an "IRC driver" receive real network access, and then it would export the capability to speak to IRC servers to other apps. An Android intents-like chooser would let the user pick/install an IRC driver, if an app needs one. The general idea is that if an app needs IRC access, it can bother the user once to get it, and if it doesn't need IRC access, then it shouldn't ever have access to IRC (or the network). This isn't ready yet, but good golly am I excited for us to finish it up so I can tell all my friends that Sandstorm is the easiest way to run an IRC bouncer.
