NeatIRC

A neat, modern, web-based IRC client by Neatnik.

Development Status

Boy oh boy, this code is a mess. That’s what happens when you focus on rapidly adding features and keep saying “I’ll move this to a better place later.” But the client is at least somewhat functional, with a number of IRCv3 features already working. So there’s that, at least! There are still plenty of half-implemented (or in some cases, half-changed) UI things and a number of wacky dragons hiding all over the place.

Known issues

• Crappy UI/UX
• Missing a ton of (actually, most!) expected client commands
• Duplicate message bug that I can’t consistently replicate

Done so far

• PING/PONG
• SASL authentication
• Message history
• Typing indicators
• Channel memory (list, order, and last visited)
• Avatars (defaulting to omg.lol profile pics, but IRCv3 metadata is respected)
• Reactions (adding and removing)
• Image sharing (uploads)
• URL unfurling
• Client commands:
  • Chat: Default/PRIVMSG chatting stuff, /ME, /SLAP
  • Channel movement: /JOIN, /PART

Most of the above still needs a lot of improvement.

Yet to be done

• Theme support, with a theme switcher (i.e. applying different stylesheets)
• The rest of the expected client commands (/MODE, etc.)
• Message editing & deletion
• Replies
• Away/Back stuff
• Nick autocompletion
• Nick detection/highlighting
