neobnc

Multi-tenant IRC bouncer (BNC), written in Go.

Status: Everything is hard-coded but it barely-works? Don't use it yet.

Goals

• v1: Multi-user, low resource usage (target self-hosting on Raspberry Pi).
• v2: Out-of-band notifications (email? pushover?), listen on multiple IPs (load balance for multi tenants).
• v3: Built-in client (web? ssh?)
• v4+: focus more on web client, with drag-n-drop image uploads and whatnot.
