=============

[THE PROJECT IS NOW ON CODEBERG!](https://codeberg.org/ltworf/localslackirc)

The idea of this project is to create a localhost IRC server that functions as

a gateway for one user of slack, that can connect to it with whatever IRC

client they prefer or a bouncer like ZNC and keep using slack from IRC even

after they shut down their IRC gateway.

Why? Peace of mind!

-------------------

Using slack from IRC instead of web app offers several advantages:

* You do not see all the gifs other people post.

* You can silence @here notifications for selected users and channels where they

  are abused.

* You can `/ignore` users who bother you (can't do that on slack).

* Leaving channels on slack is hard, normally I get invited back continuously

  on the off topic channels. With *localslackirc* you can leave them on the IRC

  client without people knowing that you won't be reading any of that.

* IRC clients allow to customise notifications. For example I have set mine to

  just blink in the tray area and do no sounds or popups.

* Any IRC client is faster than the web ui slack has, and it will respect your

  colour and style settings.

* Power savings. Because that's a logical consequence of not doing something

  in the browser.
