A should-have enhancement

luxaritas commented 8 years ago

This isn't crazy complex. IRC message 353 lists initial members, and from there you just need to monitor join and part/quit/kick messages. You do need to consider the crazy naming conventions (and IRC-only users), and you can see how I did that with addUser/removeUser in HTML-Chat.

Does remind me that in HTML-Chat, for that purpose I don't think I'm handling iOS nicks correctly, as last I checked you were using a different naming convention than Flash chat slightly.

While this might not be too complex, I think I'll be moving this from milestone release 3 to milestone release 4. The rationale behind this is that a large portion of this existing codebase will be heavily modified in version 4, as we move away from Objective-C/iOS to a cross platform solution.

I think it'd be more efficient to concentrate on improving the app for version 4 rather than making non-trivial UI/functionality changes that will ultimately be re-implemented in a different language/system in the next version.
