The Lounge
What is it?
The Lounge is a web IRC client that you host on your own server.
This is the official, community-managed fork of @erming's great initiative, the Shout project.
What features does it have?
- Multiple user support
- Stays connected even when you close the browser
- Connect from multiple devices at once
- Responsive layout — works well on your smartphone
- .. and more!
Why the fork?
We felt that the original 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.
