- dharma1 7y agoIndeed! Wonder why Jarkko Oikarinen (and others) semi-abandoned the project. With a little bit of a makeover it could have rivalled Slack, Whatsapp etc
- mxuribe 7y agoWell, there's the matrix protocol (and separate apps like Riot.im, Quaternion, pattle, etc.)...which does incorporate - at least at a high level - some similar concepts to IRC, though with modern adaptations like encryption, etc.
- dharma1 7y agoyep, love Matrix. It's the best open source project in the space. Just wonder why IRC was effectively abandoned
- bluedino 7y agoAll the time I spent on x2ftp.oulu.fi finding DOS and game programming information...
- jbverschoor 7y agoSame here :-)
