you just can't connect an IRC client to it. Which is sad, since IRC clients are pretty mature nowadays.

- akx 14y agohttps://grove.io/ https://grove.io/ exists. Also on what do you base "no one uses it"?
- Xylakant 14y agowell, I do use it. That makes us two ;) I prefer grove over all other hosted chat services since it pretty much is IRC with archiving and "private". Works with any IRC client, so everyone can use the client he prefers - web, CLI, ... The protocol is simple and open and there's a ton of services that can actually integrate into IRC.
- akx 14y agoYeah, I don't personally use Grove.io, I've just heard of it, but I am active daily on four or five different IRC networks (and tens of channels altogether).
- davidfowl 14y agoGrove looks good (I just tried it out) but looks kinda expensive...

Hell, JabbR could pretty easily be an IRC gateway/interface. > JabbR > IRC assertion error: baseless There are plenty of valid criticisms of IRC, but you're completely clueless about them. And it.
- adlpz 14y agoWait what? Have you been to any IRC channel in the last ten years? IRC is a well-supported, still widely used, open standard for real-time communication. It can work just as fine on the browser with any of the hundreds of browser-based IRC clients. Heck, you could probably hook this Jabbr front-end to an IRC server without much pain. Jabbr looks nice, but it's just a cute IRC reimplementation.
- dgesang 14y agoYou're right about IRC, but totally wrong about Jabber/XMPP. It's much more than a 'cute IRC'. Edit: Oh, nevermind, I just saw you wrote 'jabbr', not 'Jabber'. See, the confusion already started. Bad product name. :)
- adlpz 14y agoYeah, that too, really, calling it jabbr... Not very nice.
