In development: µIRC - An opensource IRC client

---

Hello. I am announcing this project here in hope of gathering feedback from the XDA-dev community. A friend of mine and me have been developing this app for a while now, and we think it has reached a point where it is quite usable and presentable. It's still a bit rough around the edges and lacking in advanced features, but we're working to improve it.

Enjoy.

wow nice app! Is possible to set host to any www site chat?

If cabbed your app - "Wr4i7t's microIRC Client"

Do you accept donations, cause I have been looking for a program like this. I would love to see it grow.

If this gets blowfish and Linknet/SSL support at some point that would certainly make me donate!
All the existing IRC clients sadly dont seem to want to integrate this library meaning I can never read anything in my channels.

I know this is a first version and these are most likely very advanced requests but if the app is not "built" with this in mind it might not be implementable at a later point.
I have no idea on programming so thats nothing I can help on but I would gladly beta-test any new functions for you.

But for actually starting this project (since all others died) I already have to give you all a big THANKS!!!

This app is an IRC client, so it can only connect to IRC servers. However, in the unlikely case that such a site were to use an IRC backend, you could connect to it.

Thanks for the cab. We're planning to distribute cabs once the app is a bit more mature. However, I'd like to point out that I'm not even the main developer, so don't give me all the credit.

Thanks. We're considering adding a donate button. Check the project's page for updates.

We'll consider adding that feature in the future. Right now, there are other priorities, since the app is still lacking in some very basic aspects, so it can still be a while before we get to it.


Thanks for all your feedback.

Nice work

Awesome client.
In fact the first IRC klient I have tried, where you can actually join channels/networks of your own pick. It runs smoothly on my HD2.

once you get close to zsIRC stability (for me and friends at least) let me know, otherwise...

The program is actually quite stable right now. What it really lacks is functionality. But yeah, for actual day-to-day usage, you're better off with zsirc, for the time being.

Really awesome, been looking for something like this for a while

Just needs more stability and functionality, but otherwise I'm using it just fine

Thanks!
