Show HN: An experiment - IRC channel from just a URL
This is related with a previous story I've seen today: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5330020
I've been working on a similar concept but based on IRC.
Once authenticated with your Twitter account you can join a room using the URL, the path represents a channel. As I said, it's based on IRC which means that you can also join the same room using an IRC client.
The code is here: https://github.com/malditogeek/lalo

- hobs 14y agoHis link to github actually does have screenshots and explains details. Probably what should have been the primary link.
- ___1___ 14y agoI don't get what it is and don't want to make a twitter account to find out. Could someone explain what is and why it needs a twitter account.
- heymishy 14y agowas kinda interested - but first step being a twitter authorised killed curiosity right then and there.. suggest maybe linking to something of an explanation before jumping straight into auth-step
- malditogeek 14y agoIf you're still interested, the code is here: https://github.com/malditogeek/lalo https://github.com/malditogeek/lalo Also, just added a welcome page ;)
- davefp 14y agoThe instant Twitter auth kills it for me, sorry.
- niggler 14y agoPlease please please if you are going to require a Facebook or twitter or google or MySpace or whatever new service-of-the-month login, please put a video or screenshots so we can see the offering first. It's like asking for a social security number without telling what you plan to do with it.
- malditogeek 14y agoHey niggler, totally agree. If it was a product I'd definitely do it but is just a hack. If you're still interested in checking it out, the code (and screenshot) is here: https://github.com/malditogeek/lalo https://github.com/malditogeek/lalo
- nodata 14y agoNo idea what this is, I get a Twitter login page. This is an IRC channel from just a URL: irc://irc.efnet.org/HN What's the difference?
- chucklarge 14y agoOh interesting...back button.
- zokier 14y agotl;dr: ircd with integrated web client. I'm not sure what advantage you get from the integration here, compared to a conventional ircd and a web gateway?
- richardwhiuk 14y agoNot sure how this is better than http://qwebirc.org/ http://qwebirc.org/ which is actually a fully featured IRC client.
