🍄 A modern IRC client built on the latest technologies of the web

hypha's Issues

Add irc-color support

The 16 color support in messages needs to be implemented.
This is the api the irc-library offers:
https://node-irc.readthedocs.org/en/latest/API.html#colors

In any case this module might be helpful too:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/irc-colors

Add SASL authentication

It should be easy to implement with the options the irc module provides. We have to submit "password" and "userName" in the options and it should work.

Special cases would be reconnecting after standby, etc.

How to deal with big dom caused by a lot of messages

Currently there is a slowdown in switching channels when there are more than 1500 message lines in total.

We need to figure out how to correctly handle this. Maybe limiting the messages to 1500 would be an option or add animation so the slowdown isn't quite as obvious.
We could also try to remove some jquery bloat when switching channels.

Add error handling for channel/server connect

Currently there is no indication if a connect to a server/channel fails. This needs to change. The user needs visual and/or textual notification if something they do fails.

Add smiley support

Basic emoji/unicode smiley support.

Rework modal dialog to be more intuitive

The current modal for adding new servers and channels is not pretty and not intuitive at all.
We should try to accomplish something like Polari:

Add message timestamps

Timestamps need to be added in a special manner:

Only display timestamps if there was no message in the last x minutes. Then display one timestamp as a line between the other messages.

This will make timestamps unobtrusive in comparison to the other popular implementations where a timestamp is shown on every line.

With the suggested method it would still offer information on time but be out of the way to not be annoying.

Make input switch with channel switching

Currently text in the input field is not dynamic and stays the same for channel switches.
What we want is that the input is connected to a channel and if the channel gets switched, the input gets switched too.

Disable input fields when not connected

Also relevant when connecting to a new channel.

Support global notices and nickserv

Rework backend to get rid of event chain

At the moment there is an event chain from client.js to network.js to main.js. This is redundant and needs to be reworked in some way.

Hexchat has a majority market share

Hexchat has a majority market share in the GUI IRC marketplace. This is a bug which IRCclean_wip is meant to fix.

No License for project.

Automatically reconnect after standby

The client needs tor econnect to all the servers and channels if the machine resumes. This is currently done in main.js. There are cases where this leads to the client constantly reconnecting to all the server which ultimately gets the user banned from those.

Dev toolbar does not open again after being closed on Windows

The dev toolbar can be opened with "CTRL-SHIFT-I".
On Windows it seems it can't be opened again with that keyboard shortcut after being closed once.

Add command support

There are a lot of irc commands that need to be implemented in Hypha yet. Here is a list of all the commands that need to be supported:

• /away
• /ban
• /ctcp
• /ignore
• /mode
• /notice
• /quit
• /quite
• /kick
• /whois
• /me
• /clear
• /msg
• /nick
• /part
• /join
