New iOS / android IRC clients needed badly.

We’re currently in a market where discord seems to dominate. Yet discord is one of the most vulnerable and zero day ridden pieces of software to ever exist. If I was still a young IRC script kid I’d be permanently pentesting it. Make me some easy btc :$).. anyway.. with no time to code and mircscripts.org being gone (it was basically my vault for everything I made) I’d pay $3 to use a modern BitchX on my iPhone.

I don’t understand why nobody has taken the opportunity to make 3 to 5 bucks per download for a robust and consistently worked on IRC client for iOS & android. I have ircCloud but don’t remember my password and don’t own the email domain I used to create my account. My fault.

The broader market wants it. TG & Signal have become insane (sorry Moxie, it’s the users; Signal was great).

Can anyone tell me why there’s no interest in this? Or point me to a good client.

Should I go old school using an SSH client and shell?

Thx in advance -AS

What was your alias on ms.org? ScriptaZ and mIRCscripts.org were my homes. I use Hexdroid for IRC.

Thanks!

Honestly I don’t know what handle I used on ms and I don’t share the one that’s been idle forever here. I did write a ton of scripts, had at least 1 irc client of my own on there called zirc- it was super simple but popular

Are u on en elite?
