Nice job and congratulations on your progress.
Now, what would be really interesting is if you were to add a WebSocket layer into the server, so one could write a browser-based client that would directly interface with the IRC server without having to proxy like mibbit does.
- alexyoung 16y agoYeah, I actually thought about that. I'm not sure if I want to bundle that into the main server. I made a web-based chat system maybe a year ago called JsChat, so I might use some of the stuff I learned there and do a nice Socket.IO thing.
- dpritchett 16y agoYou might want to look at a simple chatbox I built on socket.io a few weeks back: http://github.com/dpritchett/chatbox http://github.com/dpritchett/chatbox It's not IRC per se but it's a simple enough example of realtime chat via socket.io.
- jesusabdullah 16y agoI'd also like to see a node.js/html5-based irc client. the cgi and java ones I normally see around, well, really suck, and it's not like someone hasn't already written an irc client lib.
