Gopher Chat

This is an IRC client written in Go, using Bubble Tea for a built out TUI experience.

The mission is to be the user-friendliest IRC tui on the market.

Current Features

• The usual IRC Commands (join, quit, nick, privmsg, etc.)
• Send/Receive messages

Roadmap

In order of priority:

• Toggle view between active channels
• User configuration page
• Support auto-completion for commands

How to Run:

This software is tested on go1.18.1

First, edit the config file located in the config directory. Replace the values for nick, host, and channel with your own. Upon startup you join the default_channel, currently set to #test.

Then:

git clone https://github.com/jamesthesken/go-irc.git
cd go-irc
go build
./gopherchatv2

There are a lot of bugs!

This code needs work, so expect some instability.
