This is cool, and as a heavy IRC user, I'm eager to find a solution that can replace self-hosted IRSSI+ZNC entirely, without compromising security. Don't reinvent the protocol, reinvent the UI.
- welterde 13y agoWhy irssi+znc? Why not just run irssi on the box you run znc on (inside screen or tmux)?
- dewey 13y agoBecause with ZNC it's possible to connect from multiple clients, get the full message backlog on every device, push notifications, iOS/Android apps. You could use an ssh client on your phone and reattach to the screen/tmux session but it's just not that comfortable.
- nilkn 13y agoI haven't seen anything that beats IRCCloud in the ease of use and UI departments, especially their mobile apps. That said, the full service is $5/month and so not for everybody. Also, you mention security and I'm not sure whether you'd consider a cloud service permissible in that sense or not.
