Mirc color support #125

Open AeroSteveO opened 9 years ago

AeroSteveO commented 9 years ago

Currently the client neither removes nor uses the mirc color codes, so lines containing them instead show the various numbers, these should either be parsed out of the text or (preferably) supported by the client

Thanks for the report! Currently thought HoloIRC is not under active development. Work has begun on a replacement app within which I will look into this.

AeroSteveO commented 9 years ago

Ah, I'll keep an eye out for that then

AeroSteveO commented 9 years ago

For sake of being thorough, topics and private messages leave the color codes in the text, and channel messages remove the color codes from the text, none of the above use the color codes

Note that many people use the same foreground and background color to keep spoilers hidden. In most clients you can read them by selecting the text. It'd be nice if whatever @tilal6991's working on supports this use-case.

What is the replacement app? Will it be open source? I was intending to do some pull requests when I get some free time.

Essentially, there is a working app here that is open source that anyone can contribute to, and the suggestion seems to be "stop, don't do anything, mystery app that you know nothing about will fix everything". If mystery app is open source, where is its repository? If not, then are you handing this repo off to someone? Mystery app does not automatically deprecate this one.

The mystery app (which I only found again by doing some clever searches in my Gmail archives) is at fusionx-software/channels but the repo is empty.

Replacement app's repo is above and yes it will be open source.

No I will not be handing off this repo as there is no one I know who is willing to maintain it. You are free to submit PRs and I'll likely merge them but I'm not intending to release another version of HoloIRC.
