What Hacker News says
12 sourcesThe Lounge is a fork (well, really a continuation) of shout, which was started 4-5 years ago (https://github.com/erming/shout)
Additionally, the backend irc framework used was changed to one used by another popular web client, kiwiirc.
Are there any specific security concerns you have?

In Shout – A web IRC clientHey, guys.
Thanks for all the attention! The repository is here: https://github.com/erming/shout
It's open source, so if you're looking for a cool new project to work on, feel free to help out!
In Shout – A web IRC clientThe repo is at https://github.com/erming/shout
Looks pretty neat - even setup to work decently on mobile devices.
In Shout – A web IRC clientI'm creating a web-based IRC chat.
Basically: You install it from npm and then run it, then you browse to http://localhost:9000/ and start chatting.
It's responsive and works great on your smartphone.
Repository: https://github.com/erming/shout (star if you like it!)
And of course, a demo: http://shout-irc.com:9000/
Edit: If you can't connect (Freenode only allows ~5 active connections) try "irc.rizon.net".

2 points · Open discussionOh, I've made one too!
http://github.com/erming/shout
It's really stable (been using it for weeks without restarting) and I've even implemented a mobile interface: https://db.tt/fYTswBwO
You'll find the install instructions in the README (or just `npm install shout`). No configuration required. Should take under a minute to get it running if you already have NPM.
It's open source. Feel free to try it, browse the code and leave some feedback. If you want to work with me, it's open for contributions!
