Is it really that hard to spin up an IRC server for moments like these? I too have had to switch to Skype communications today. I wish people used IRC in the first place so I could write my own bots.
- kgraves 7y agoproblem is, non devs don't use IRC.
- komali2 7y agoI've been meaning to figure out how to do this for my office. From what I can understand, setting up the IRC server is easy, making it "secure" is kinda hard, getting slack features like shared history (so you can log out, back in, and see your messages) is fairly hard. I've only done cursory glancing over blogs though. Also I would need to help my coworkers choose and settle on a client. Particularly one for the phone. I used to use androidIRC but I kept getting booted from channels cause when it was in my pocket it would spam connect/disconnects.
- VectorLock 7y agoYou can write bots in Slack. Actually they tout that as a big feature.
