Is this anything other than LeChat's advertisement for angel investors?
I'm with the folks in avree's linked discussion. IRC already does this for a dollar less per month.
- hunterwalk 14y agohi, i wrote the post. As many engineers try to decide what's a "side project" vs startup, i thought it would be interesting to share one team that just made the decision.
- Qwl 14y agoI guess similar argument can go for GitHub/BitBucket versus internal Git server, yet GitHub and BitBucket are very popular for private repositories.
- Helianthus 14y agoUh. I don't see the relation. You can run your own IRC server.
- rekoros 14y agoHi, I'm the other LeChat founder. The issues with running an IRC server: 1. you still have to run it somewhere 2. you have to support it 3. there's no search (grepping through logs is not search) 4. you have to use screen/tmux to not miss anything 5. your CFO will probably never use it I think there definitely is a need in a chat tool that is "easy" to use. Having said this, I think IRC is invaluable, just in a different context.
