Not sure why you were downvoted. IRCCloud is a great service (though they've been experience trouble recently with a lot of disconnection issues randomly)

- johnbender 14y agoTwo reasons: 1. Show HN is generally about feedback. The comment doesn't provide useful feedback about the service. 2. IRCCloud is a client and proxy. This service allows you to use your own IRC client which is preferable for a whole host of reasons (config, WM level keybindings, etc). Aside from the down vote, In my experience IRCCloud has serious reliability issues. I've recommended it to around 10 people all of which have abandoned the service because it was down so frequently. [EDIT] IRCCloud may since have corrected those problems it was > 5 months ago.
- ChuckMcM 14y agoDownvoted possibly because of form, I've seen a number of down votes on comments to "Show HN:" posts that were essentially "This is better: competitive link." It doesn't help the person showing us their tool because the comment doesn't say how its better. A better comment would be "I'm currently using a competitive service X, and I really like features A, B, and C, but don't like features P, Q,and R, your product seems to fix P and Q, but doesn't offer B or C." which is evaluative against a competitive product (no doubt the poster has done those evaluations as well but its useful to have actual customers and their feedback.
