If you're already running weechat, you might be interested in checking out Glowing Bear which accomplishes a very similar goal, but without reinventing the weel - it simply connects to you existing weechat (probably running on a server somewhere).

One of the biggest advantages of this approach is that you get the whole functionality of a mature IRC client. You also don't have to trust a third party with your data, as you're connecting to your own client, no middleman involved. It's just a bunch of static files.
- baldfat 11y agoPersonally I run weechat on a small home server I have and run it in tmux and just ssh into it.
- xt 11y agoGlowing Bear is helpful on mobile devices without hardware keyboards, still.
- lorenzhs 11y agoI run it on a small dedicated server (kimsufi) in tmux. But instead of sshing into that, I connect to it with Glowing Bear which feels much nicer to me. I also like the mobile support (I use it a lot on my Android phone and my iPad). For Android, we even have a "native" app (using cordova). It's very convenient to have IRC on the go, with synced read marker states and a pleasant interface.
- baldfat 11y agoI'll give it a try. Thanks for replying back.
