NOTICE me :senpai!
Welcome home, desune~
A modern terminal IRC client.
senpai is an IRC client that works best with bouncers:
- no logs are kept,
- history is fetched from the server via CHATHISTORY,
- networks are fetched from the server via bouncer-networks,
- messages can be searched in logs via SEARCH.
Quick demo
To try out senpai "online", a live SSH demo is available at:
ssh -p 6666 delthas.fr
Your nick will be set to your SSH username.
(This connects to the Ergo test network.)
Installing
From source (requires Go):
git clone https://git.sr.ht/~delthas/senpai
cd senpai
make
sudo make install
For a simple Go local installation:
