I decided to blend an IRC client and a BNC into one, and build this from scratch in Node.js with an AngularJS frontend. Run it on your server and stay connected to IRC 24/7 while hiding your home IP behind the server. Access the same session (server connections, open channels, PMs) from work/home/iPad simultaneously and have them kept perfectly in sync :)
- sjm 13y agoCool, I've always wanted to do something like this. I love my IRC & BNC set-up and have always thought that other chat systems could learn a lot from it, and at the same time that the process could be simplified for newer users.
- nacs 13y agoHave you seen Subway ( https://github.com/thedjpetersen/subway https://github.com/thedjpetersen/subway )? If so do you have different goals with your project?
- pavben 13y agoAssuming Subway also supports concurrent web sessions from multiple devices, it comes down to the design. I'm going for more of a classic/low-level mIRC feel with a focus on simplicity/minimalism while pleasing the IRC power users. Larger/easier to read text while being able to fit more of it is nice, imo. Not sure why they opted for the opposite.
- shurcooL 13y agoI've been using WebIRC for a while now, and I have to admit the convenience it offers is well worth the small cost to get it setup (my $35 a year vps wasn't doing much). It's simple and does what you expect.
