discoirc is a terminal-based IRC client. It's similar in some ways to irssi, but with some specific goals in mind.

What's with the name?

It was very briefly called discourirc - a pun on the French term discourir, 'to discuss'.

But that was too many letters and is fairly obscure; so, shortened to discoirc, which also suggests the graphical funness above.

Documents

See the Roadmap doc for a summary of planned features.

See the Goals doc for some principles for design.

Alternatives

I use the venerable irssi on a day-to-day basis. But it is insufficiently documented - I can never get my config file to actually do what's asked - and frankly, I'd rather write my own IRC client than learn Perl in order to make it do what I want.

I tried the Komanda CLI. It doesn't adhere to the principles above, and has some fairly basic bugs - /me not working, for instance.
