hewwo, an irc client

hewwo is a work-in-progress IRC client meant to provide a good experience for first-time IRC users and IRC addicts alike, stemming mostly from my dislike of the other modern clients. It's designed specifically with tilde.town in mind, but it should be usable on other networks too.

"features"

• hints to guide new users, inspired by seeing a lot of confused IRC first-timers struggling to quit #tildetown
• not a TUI - works with your terminal (native scrollback, search, etc), not despite it
• dotfile aware - won't mess up your config unless ask, you can delete the default values and it'll still work
• can send and receive messages
