IRCv3 lacks a logo, a startup, and VC funding. So people who write tech news seem to often be unaware that it even exists.

- mmastrac 11y agoNot sure why you were downvoted. What you said is true - there's little to write about for pure tech projects like that when there's no flashy video to show off. You'd have to figure out how to message it to reach a wider audience which honestly seems difficult to me.
- scrollaway 11y agoIt's also lacking adoption (which is understandable since it's not "officially released" yet).
- zilean 11y agoI believe twitch uses ircv3.
- scrollaway 11y agoWow, you're correct. I did not know that. Fun!
- coroutines 11y agoTwitch is fairly-conforming to IRCv3... they don't prefix their non-standard capabilities with their domain in CAP LS. :> I'm sad because I applied to Twitch directly stating what I'd want to work on with the IRC portal and never got a response. My entire work history is IRC. XD

- 91bananas 11y agoDoesn't it also lack a common, arguably nice, frontend? With integrations to everything under the sun pre-built, requiring no management by the implementers? Built in bouncers, searchable history, etc?
- scrollaway 11y agoA frontend is actually the one thing it's not lacking. IRCCloud.com supports ircv3 and is a very nice "slacky" UI to IRC.
- ne0phyte 11y agoSadly IRCCloud is still lacking one 100% crucial feature: a backlog search. I've been a paying IRCCloud user for almost 2 years now and back then they already had the search feature on the roadmap as "coming soon". The only way right now is to keep scrolling and scrolling and then some more scrolling until you find what you are looking for. In a busy channel this is pretty much pointless.
- scrollaway 11y agoCompletely tangential but if you use quassel, check this little thing I built for a channel we own: https://github.com/jleclanche/quassel-weblog https://github.com/jleclanche/quassel-weblog There's a demo in the URL field (not hotlinking here directly because it's a weak server). I didn't really document it but there's backlog search, ?highlight=<nick> functionality and it's straightforward to add functionality.
- Mandatum 11y agoI agree it's "Slacky", but the interface itself is very much traditional IRC.
