__What is it?__
The Lounge is a web IRC client that you host on your own server.
2014-08-18 12:50:12 +00:00
*This is the official, community-managed fork of @erming's great initiative, the [Shout](https://github.com/erming/shout) project.*

__What features does it have?__
2014-08-18 12:50:12 +00:00
- Multiple user support
- Stays connected even when you close the browser
- Connect from multiple devices at once
- Responsive layout — works well on your smartphone
2014-08-18 12:55:27 +00:00
- _.. and more!_
2014-08-18 12:50:12 +00:00
__Why the fork?__
We felt that the original [Shout](https://github.com/erming/shout) project
"stagnated" a little because its original author wanted it to remain his pet
project (which is a perfectly fine thing!).
A bunch of people, excited about doing things a bit differently than the upstream
project forked it under a new name: “The Lounge”.
This fork aims to be community managed, meaning that the decisions are taken
in a collegial fashion, and that a bunch of maintainers should be able to make
the review process quicker and more streamlined.
