The Lounge Hosting
Managed The Lounge, ready in under a minute.
The Lounge is an open source, web-based IRC client for people who want to follow communities and conversations without keeping a desktop client open. Connect it to the IRC networks you use, join channels and send private messages from one browser interface. It also works as an installable web app, and can serve several separate user accounts.
Its server stays connected while your browser is closed, so you can return to the conversation from a computer, phone or tablet. A responsive interface, link previews, file uploads and notifications bring modern conveniences to IRC without replacing the networks and channels you already use. It is a client rather than a network, and on a pod its accounts are set up through SFTP.
It is an alternative to IRCCloud.
What you can do with The Lounge
Keep your IRC connections in one place and catch up from whichever device is at hand, without running a separate bouncer.
Persistent connections
Stay connected to IRC networks when you close your browser, then resume your conversations later.
Everyday IRC
Follow channels and private messages across your IRC networks from one web interface.
Rich conversations
Preview links, upload files and enable notifications for messages that need your attention.
Browser access
Use the responsive interface on desktop, phone or tablet. Install it as a progressive web app where your browser supports it.
