I've been listening to SB for a couple of years now. Just saw them on tour, and sorry Evanescence, you're legendary, but I was mainly there to see Spiritbox.

Anyway, I'd never watched the Constance music video until last night. I am absolutely demolished, and then understanding the story behind it made it hit even harder.

Courtney and the band tap into literally every emotion a human can feel. It's why I love them, but damn. Feeling that much should be illegal.

Hey all.

There’s been a lot of work going on in the client space and I’m super excited for IRCv3 and the general maturation of it, as IRC is still one of the few communication mediums on the internet that I feel isn’t plagued by corporate interests.

A few months back I started a little bit of a passion project for my own benefit, as I just wanted an IRC client that felt the way I wanted it to feel and have some options to switch it up when the mood struck.

I’ve been testing and I’m fairly happy with things, although looking to add some more features on a stable foundation (scripting, etc.)

If you’re looking around for a new client to drive on desktop or mobile, I’d be grateful to get some testing and feedback on what’s working, what isn’t, and maybe what would be valuable to you.

Some features:

- Desktop supports direct connections, ZNC, and Soju.
- Mobile is designed around Soju, as I wanted to focus on one platform and make it first class.
- Push notifications for mobile
- Voice dictation and voiceover friendly. I’m doing some additional polishing in this department, since inclusivity and accessibility is important to me as an author.
- Supports file uploads with Soju
- 21 (🤪) themes to choose from. Bright? Check. Boring? Check. In between? Check. A little something for everyone.
- Configurable slider to dial the atmospheric elements on the UI to suit your tastes.
- Emoji support
- Windows is an unsigned build, but I’ll be tidying this up soon.

On the point of Android: I do intend to release the client for Android, though I use an iPhone myself and it’s been easiest to dogfood this way. Once I’ve been able to get a significant amount of external feedback and I know we are solid, I’ll push it along to Android. I just didn’t want to double my problems out the gate. 😊
