Fair enough, I'll definitely take this for a spin, all the IRC clients available on Android are terrible. If I can't make something like this work I'm going to have to bang out my own "suckless" Android IRC client...
- BoorishBears 9y agoWhat are the pain points in the current Android IRC clients?
- exelius 9y agoIRC requires a persistent connection; cell phones are not good at that since they bounce from network to network. I love IRC but there's a reason Slack is so popular.
- BoorishBears 9y agoI last used IRCCloud when I was on IRC, I know a bouncer could do similar things but I much prefer the 0-config route along with the UI built around it. I'd write a high quality IRC client for Android if there really was a market for it, but Slack feels like it's obsoleted the market (and I have trouble believing this many years into the game there are no good IRC clients on Android, but I haven't checked in a while)
- wcummings 9y agoI use a bouncer, thats not the problem. The problems are bad UIs, bugs, no v3 support, poor scripting support.
- daurnimator 9y agoI don't mind the weechat app (connects to a running weechat instance in relay mode). + glowing-bear works too.
