I think your expectations can easily be alleviated with the right IRC client. Most pastebins and image hosts use some form of markup so that if your IRC client was set to preview those links then it could, or even potentially cache those resources as well.
- Macha 4y agoSo what is this magical sufficiently smart client that can embed images from all major image hosts, code snippets from all major pastebins and also configures a bouncer for me and also lets me see messages on my phone without missing some as the phone OS killed it's network socket as it put the app to sleep? I'm no stranger to the IRC protocol (in fact one of my first submissions to this site 12 years ago in 2010 was an introduction to the protocol written as part of building an Android client that was my side project at the time), but I have no interest in putting in the time to make an IRC client with the experience I'd like in 2022, which is clearly a much lower bar on matrix when Element, nheko, Cinny, FluffyChat and Fractal have all managed it.

- encryptluks2 4y agoTo be fair IRCCloud is not free nor open source. I believe there are other clients that offer similar functionality but it would be good to have something easy that does this readily available within open source
- bchar 4y agoIRCCloud does much of this.
- MaxLeiter 4y agoThe Lounge will do all the above, minus uploading text to a pastebin (although there’s an open PR to add uploading large text as a file)
