For those looking for an IRC client; there's;

* The lounge (web based) :

* Halloy (rust, native) : https://github.com/squidowl/halloy

* Tiny (rust, TUI; easier to configure than weechat) : https://github.com/osa1/tiny

* Weechat (TUI; the goat but harder, here's a good guide to setting it up) : https://newblood.anonops.com/weechat.html

I've spent over 20 years on IRC and im still on every day. Two years ago, I felt the community could use more client options, so I created Halloy. It has since become my primary spare-time project, and I love seeing people enjoy IRC.

Holy shit this GUI framework looks good. I am a Qt fanboi, but this looks great. Normally, I skip all the "X for Rust" posts as a bunch of fanaticism. Could it really be different this time???

The feature list is really impressive: https://github.com/iced-rs/iced

Plus, here is the road map with many things already done: https://github.com/iced-rs/iced/blob/master/ROADMAP.md

Wow, wow, wow: Keep up the great work.

One of the rendering engines is Skia by Google. This library is sneaking up fast on us...

I see you didn't publish it to crates.io because of patched dependencies. I registered the "halloy" name so no one else abuses it. Contact me to transfer it to you.

Thank you! I’ll reach out.

Turned out gorgeous. Do you remember the original prompt?

culinary-robot · 2 years ago

Yes, but promise not to laugh: "application icon, a side view of a fat seagull". Fat seagull :D

How was working in Iced? It looks like you did a lot of the work just this month

culinary-robot · 2 years ago

This is Iced, not Tauri. Yeah, it's been a productive month. Once you get hooked it's hard to stop.

Wow, that logo is gorgeous. Who is the artist?

culinary-robot · 2 years ago

It's made with the Midjourney niji engine and finished up in Photoshop.

Upvoted based on the XKCD alone, I used the same argument a few years ago for this spaghetti mess: https://github.com/creesch/discordIRCd

How feature complete is this client? As in what IRC versions (and dialects) are supported?

culinary-robot · 2 years ago

We use https://crates.io/crates/irc under the hood which is compliant with RFC 2812, IRCv3.1, IRCv3.2.

And thanks for noticing the XKCD!

Man, I wish I still knew people on IRC… Whenever I see a link to Discord I let out a deep sigh. We had it all and we blew it! We threw it all away for gifs and centralization!

So here’s a question: if I download this, what’s a good place to hang out?

PS I’ve never used this Ui toolkit (being an egui man myself) but that panel snapping looks amazing!

culinary-robot · 2 years ago

Iced is awesome. Slightly biased being a contributed though :) I would recommend https://libera.chat/. There are a ton of great channels: ##rust, #linux, #networking, #security to mention a few.

Is that a common thing in GUI to have a single function over 900 LoC?

I am very proud of the code base, but there's many places to optimize. I welcome contributions if you want to help out!
