About c80

c80, pronounced "Katie", is a web based AJAX IRC client.

c80 is currently under development.

Features

  • Keeps your session open even when you have closed your browser. For UNIX users, this is practically the same as using IRC in screen.
  • Can be used to bypass firewalls that block off IRC. As long as you can browse web sites, you can use IRC.

Misc

How does c80 bypass firewalls?

c80 runs as a web server on a computer outside the firewalled network. When you access the server from within the firewalled network you are merely accessing a web page. c80 will handle the IRC servers and channels you wish to connect to.
