quassel-webserver

There's also a Quassel web front end here[1]. I prefer the way Quassel handles IRC, so I use the daemon and various front ends, including the web one. [1] https://github.com/magne4000/quassel-webserver

There is also Quassel-Web, the web front end for Quassel Core, over here[1]. The Linux Server guys packaged it for self-hosting here[2]. [1] https://github.com/magne4000/quassel-webserver [2] https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-quassel-web

https://github.com/thelounge/thelounge https://quassel-irc.org/ has a server component you connect to with clients (for desktop and Android, not sure about state of things on iOS), and https://github.com/magne4000/quassel-webserver if you need a web interface.

Especially when used in the core/client split version, which allows you to use the webclient https://github.com/magne4000/quassel-webserver/, the irssi-client https://github.com/phhusson/quassel-irssi, the iOS client https://woboq.com/iquassel.html, the Android client https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iskrembile... or https://f-droid.org/packages/com.iskrembilen.quasseldroid/, the new alpha of the new android client https://quasseldroid.info/, and the fulltext search https://github.com/justjanne/quassel-rest-search (with demo here: http://s3.kuschku.de/public/quassel-rest-search.mp4 ) Quassel alone is a kinda nice client, with the entire ecosystem around it, it becomes amazingly powerful. And the beauty of the Qt client is that, being Qt, you can fully style it with css - e.g. https://bugs.quassel-irc.org/projects/quassel-

> The days of simplistic IRC protocols have gone. Now people want emojis, search, session persistence, web client, and more things. Then use the Quassel IRC bouncer, with clients. Web client? https://github.com/magne4000/quassel-webserver Session persistence? That’s the entire purpose of it. Search? https://dl.kuschku.de/videos/2016-09-16_04-03-36.mp4 Emojis? Check. > So for that, there's obviously going to be more complexity compared to IRC. And IRC feels so hacked on when fit it with the modern features one wants today. That’s why IRCv3 is a thing, slowly replacing the hacks with proper specs. No more NickServ, but instead SASL and account-notify. No more guessing where some batch of messages ends, but a batch message type. > It's riddled with […] chromium based applications. So is Matrix. I’m not saying Matrix is bad, Matrix has some a

It's more work but I've found Quassel + quassel-webserver ( https://github.com/magne4000/quassel-webserver ) to be a good alternative.

As this discussion started with webIRC clients, I'd like to mention the awesome quassel-webserver project from Magne`: https://github.com/magne4000/quassel-webserver Basically, the same features as The Lounge, but it just connects to a Quassel core, allowing you to connect to the same core with the desktop app or with the Android app, and allowing you to use the ecosystem of software developed around Quassel.

You can also get a web UI for Quassel. https://github.com/magne4000/quassel-webserver

There is also a new effort to develop a web interface for Quassel. https://github.com/magne4000/quassel-webserver

Fantastic! I am now running it locally and works very well for me out of the box. (Using the shout-irc.com doesn't seem to work) Feature request: Make it work with quassel core. Currently there is https://github.com/magne4000/quassel-webserver but I don't like the UI as much as yours. https://github.com/magne4000/node-libquassel might help you with quassel connectivity.
