• Best (easiest) way to crawl an IRC channel?

  I found Irssi which apperantly has the capability to do this but the configuration is more complex than I hoped. While my experiments haven't concluded yet, is anybody aware of an easy to use IRC client that I can use to crawl the messages in an IRC channel? - Source: Reddit / 10 months ago

• Karl Lehenbauer, “Tcl: The Tool Command Language – Lisp for the Masses”

  Eggdrop [0] and BitchX [1] come to mind. Irssi [2] has a plugin that enables Tcl scripting. I'm currently fiddling with TkCAD [3] in order to put a small CNC machine to use here, it needs some small adaptations to work on Linux, but I find it a nice find!

• Ask HN: What IRC client do you use?

  I've used irssi (https://irssi.org) for years. Have a session running on a shell host under tmux. Works perfectly for me on a desktop and a mobile ssh client. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Terminal based chat app?

  It depends on what protocol you're looking for. Some chat apps that I know of are: gomuks (Matrix), weechat (primarily IRC, with plugins for other protocols), irssi (primarily IRC, with plugins for other protocols), profanity (XMPP), poezio (XMPP). - Source: Reddit / about 2 years ago
