Can you also in a nutshell tell me/us how the 'Always connected. Remains connected to IRC servers while you are offline.' works? Can't find much on the site itself, and tbh don't want to scroll the source code.

- wffurr 6y agoYou run Lounge on a server that remains connected. You then connect to Lounge with mobile apps or a URL. The official site is more useful than the GitHub repo in this regard: https://thelounge.chat/docs https://thelounge.chat/docs
- jeroenhd 6y agoThe NodeJS backend keeps connected and syncs up the messages to the frontend when you reconnect. The actual IRC happens on your server, the frontend has a separate API for fetching messages (it doesn't do IRC directly).
