- tomphoolery 9y agohaha this client name reminds me of the old mIRC Channel List days!
- prophesi 9y ago+1 to The Lounge. It's how I was able to get a few friends & coworkers to start using IRC.
- astorije 9y agoAre you using The Lounge for work? Would you mind sharing which company? It would help me find out if/what companies are (disclaimer: I'm one of the dev). Thanks!
- LinuxBender 9y agoDisclaimer: I personally do not need emoji's. Does TheLounge let users upload custom emoji? I ask, because my coworkers say, "You can take Slack from my cold dead hands". There was even a great emoji war. I would like to stand up a web interface to IRC and let folks play around on it. I tried Convos, but it didn't seem to fit that piece of the puzzle. For the backend, I have always used UnrealIRCD + Anope services. It has always been rock solid and scales beyond any need I could imagine. It would be great if there were a modern web interface I could put in front of it that people would want to use.
- MaxLeiter 9y agoNo, it does not support that. Just uses unicode emojis and lets the OS/browser handle the rendering
- LinuxBender 9y agoThanks. I totally understand and agree. The problem I am faced with is that Slack (a former gaming company) has gotten people hooked / trained / conditioned on the custom emoji.
- xPaw 9y agoNo, it doesn't support custom emojis. Even if it did, only this particular client would display them and not any other IRC client.
- LinuxBender 9y agoThankyou. That would probably be ok, since Slack using the IRC gateway had the same effect.
