>I agree that your local server IRC doesn't obviously make the security story much worse (although it does throw an entire IRC client into the mix which isn't good news security wise). Irssi's codebase is probably a tiny, tiny fraction of the electron framework and it's super stable these days. Meanwhile didn't Signal suffer an HTML tag injection vulnerability a while ago? But anyway, that's besides the point. >In practice I suspect that if you just build this and use it, that will actually work. If you make a big song and dance, I suspect Moxie will tell you this is not allowed. Okay I see. I hope eventually they'll open the door a little so that we'll be able to build around the application in broad daylight. But hey, that's their project and they give it out for free so who am I to complain? Maybe one day I'll seriously consider implementing Simias Comms 1000 (tm). Thank you for the feedback.
