What is it? Blether is a web IRC client that you host on your own server. It is a fork of The Lounge because I like to get stuff in quicker than it generally goes into Shout, but that means that it might be a little less stable, and things might break.
What features does it have?
Why the fork?
We felt that the original Shout project "stagnated" a little because its original author wanted it to remain his pet project (which is a perfectly fine thing!).
A bunch of people, excited about doing things a bit differently than the upstream project forked it under a new name: “The Lounge”.
This fork aims to be community managed, meaning that the decisions are taken in a collegial fashion, and that a bunch of maintainers should be able to make the review process quicker and more streamlined.
sudo npm install -g blether
When the install is complete, go ahead and run this in your terminal:
blether --help
For more information, read the Lounge documentation.
To run the app from source, just clone the code and run this in your terminal:
npm install
npm start
You will have to run npm run build if you change or add anything in
client/js/libs or client/views.
