Shout is a self-hosted web-based IRC client that runs a Node.js server and lets users connect to IRC networks from their browser. It is deprecated and users should use its actively maintained fork, The Lounge.
Use cases
- self-host an IRC client accessible from the browser
- stay connected to IRC channels across devices
- run a persistent IRC connection on a server
- chat on IRC without installing a desktop client
When to choose
- you specifically need the original Shout for legacy reasons
When to avoid
- starting any new project - use The Lounge instead
- you want maintained features, security fixes, or support
