Glowing Bear is friggin' amazing, I've been using it for more than 6 months now and it's pretty much the best irc experience you can get! Thanks!

- skrowl 10y agoI also use weechat (on cygwin since they don't have native windows builds) + glowing bear. It's great as long as you're at a PC, but it's missing a way to get notifications (for example when you receive a /msg or /notice) when you're away from the PC but have your mobile with you.
- lorenzhs 10y agoYeah, that's hard to implement without a central server component or annoying setup. I use IrssiNotifier (despite the name, it also works with WeeChat). It's not great but I get push notifications for highlights on my phone.
- skrowl 10y agoYeah, it would have to be a push notification. Running an actual IRC client that had to maintain connection on mobile would destroy your battery. Anyone aware of anything that works on mobile that does this?

- lorenzhs 10y agoWell irssinotifier uses Google cloud messaging (is that the current name? The Google push service). It encrypts messages on the server and decrypts them in the client, using a passphrase. It's a technically neat solution but a bit annoying to set up. It has a script for weechat (and of course irssi), not sure about other clients. Or you can use pushbullet /..., there should be scripts for any popular scriptable client
- shalomhomes 10y ago+1 for Glowing Bear. I haven't been on for anywhere near 6 months but I know I will be eventually.
