Spongy IRC
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
This is a sort of bouncer for clients with transient network connections,
|
|
like cell phones and laptops.
|
|
It's a lot like [tapchat](https://github.com/tapchat/tapchat) but is a whole lot simpler
|
|
while being (at time of writing) much more feature-complete.
|
|
|
|
It supports (currently) an JavaScript browser-based client,
|
|
and can also be worked from the command-line using Unix tools like "tail" and "echo".
|
|
|
|
Ironically, it doesn't currently work with any existing IRC clients,
|
|
although we are kicking around ideas for such a thing.
|
|
Honestly, though, if you want a bouncer for a traditional IRC client,
|
|
you are better off using something like znc.
|
|
|
|
We have an [architectural diagram](https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1am_RTUh89kul-318GoYK73AbjOE_jMYi4vI4NyEgKrY/edit?usp=sharing) if you care about such things.
