I worked in a global team. When I got booted off VPN I would have my irc connection drop and I would miss critical conversations. IRC sucks for collaboration.

- pmoriarty 3y agoYou could just use an IRC bouncer. But, yeah, I understand this is beyond the capabilities of your typical user, and not something most users even know exists. This is really a UI/UX deficiency of IRC, not a functional deficiency.
- redserk 3y agoI couldn’t imagine joining a workplace only to be told that I had to maintain a service to participate in essential communication channels.
- tremon 3y agoI disagree that it's merely a UX deficiency, but I agree that it's not a protocol deficiency. Yes, indeed you could just use an IRC bouncer: the problem is that many users don't have easy access to such a bouncer. What IRC "needs" is a network of open bouncers that users can subscribe to.
- Filligree 3y agoSo IRCCloud?
- bandrami 3y agoSo you're saying an IRC daemon for corporate use needs a competent administrator, which is true of most daemons in business situations.
- j45 3y agoCould it just be a donkey image that spins up with the convenient bits in place? I have a hard time imagining irc heads don’t have a solution dockerized
- op00to 3y agoI had a bouncer (with push notifications!), but I was in the minority.
