A simple IRC client written in Javascript

Primary LanguageJavaScript

What is it ?

An IRC client written in pure Javascript. It uses the SocketBridge Java Applet for the socket connection to the IRC server. https://github.com/ihilt/JavaSocketBridge

All parsing of the IRC response, sending of commands etc is done in Javascript.

This was written for a specific site, and is not quite optimized for general consumption yet. It connects a hardcoded server, and channel by default - although you can change that to suit your needs.

It is completely web based. The GUI is in HTML/CSS.

This can be a starting point for further implementations / learning.
