Zirck is a currently in-development IRC client for the web. There is one fundamental difference between Zirck and other web-based IRC clients such as Mibbit: it won't suck. It won't use Flash, it'll look good, and it'll be fast. Really fast.

I'll be built using JavaScript and Node.js, using the socket.io and jQuery libraries. It might even work in Internet Explorer, when it is done. But probably not.

You will be able to play with a preview live of Zirck on the website: http://zirck.com:8080. It might not be very stable, and it might not work properly in the beginning stages of development. It might also look like shit until a designer has done something awesome with it; I'm no designer.

If you wish to contribute to Zirck or just want to have a look at it, you can install it locally:

git clone https://github.com/callumacrae/zirck.git
cd zirck
npm install

Then to run it:

npm start
