# 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](https://github.com/erming/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](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.
