rx - WebIRC (Kiwi IRC)

Looking for a more lightweight or simpler client?

A WebIRC client is an IRC client that runs in your web browser. It enables you to connect to IRC straight from your web browser, without installing anything on your host. It can be used, for instance, to try out IRC, or to access IRC in a computer (or phone!) you don't own. There are multiple WebIRC clients available, but we currently provide Kiwi IRC, a modern next generation client suitable for IRC newbies.

Connecting

Open the web client by clicking this link. Provide your preferred nickname and the channels you wish to join. Then click on "Start" and start chatting!

Next time you use the client, your settings will be remembered, unless you agressively purge cookies.

Embedding

You can either embed a client into your web page, or craft a URL others can use to join your channel. For example, the following automatically joins #support:

https://webirc.runxiyu.org/#support

The following automatically joins #support and sets the nickname to "IRCUser":

https://webirc.runxiyu.org/?nick=IRCUser?#support

But what if I don't want WebIRC users?

WebIRC users have a specific connect class assigned to them, called "webirc". To ban WebIRC users from your channel, do:

/mode #channel +b n:webirc

Need help?

We're available in the #support channel for any questions that may arise.
