ANSICHAN fills your sad-looking terminal emulators on your riced-out GNU+Linux desktop with the fountain of 4chan. Jack into /a/ at:
nc fountain.hakase.org 4751
and /g/ at:
nc fountain.hakase.org 4752
telnet will probably work too, but ANSICHAN currently just spits UTF-8
over TCP, so telnet might not like everything it hears.
If you're not seeing the magic colors, make sure your terminal supports 256 colors and UTF-8.
Dude what
Running Locally
You can run ANSICHAN locally (along with a local copy of fountain and phosphene if you want), but it takes some doing:
npm install
sudo npm install -g LiveScript
lsc -cb ansichan.ls
BOARD="a" PORT="4751" node ansichan.js
By default, ANSICHAN will run against fountain.hakase.org, and stream /a/ to port 4751. These can be controlled by the associated environment variables.
If there's a specific thread you want to watch, use the THREAD envar:
BOARD="g" PORT="4752" THREAD="40586640" node ansichan.js
