One more thing: Freenode has given me about ~20 slots to work with on this demo. If you can't connect, try another network, like `irc.rizon.net` or something.

  What do you mean slots? Is it just because connections are coming from one IP and there is a limitation on their end?
  - nacs 12y ago
    Most IRC networks have a per-IP connection limit. The slots in this case are the amount of connections that can come from the demo server (20 at the moment). If you ran this software on your own server, you wouldn't run into the problem unless you tried to open 20 simultaneous connections to 1 IRC network.

      Apparently there's a protocol that addresses this issue (WEBIRC): https://github.com/thedjpetersen/subway/issues/117 https://github.com/thedjpetersen/subway/issues/117

        Is this actually implemented server-side on any networks?

        KiwiIRC uses this protocol apparently. I asked the author about it and they said they have worked out special arrangements with some networks to implement it, and accept connections exclusively from Kiwi, I presume? After all, a password is required according to this spec: https://kiwiirc.com/docs/webirc https://kiwiirc.com/docs/webirc

Thanks this is awesome - I would love to integrate it with sagebump.com instead of using freenodes client. Can I ask why there is a 20 slot limit? How can one increase this?
- sjm 12y ago
  The 20 slot limit being mentioned is just in regards to the demo connecting to freenode. The demo connects to freenode from a single IP address and freenode has limits on how many connections you can have from one IP. It's not something you need to worry about in a normal use-case.

  BTW; your site does not work without www.

Wow, what a great job! This is a really good looking web IRC client and it works so well with notification sounds, favicon updates etc.
