Subway is a web-based IRC client with a multi-user Node.js backend and a JavaScript-heavy frontend communicating over websockets. It supports persistent IRC connections and optional logging when the browser disconnects, but is no longer functional or under active development.
Use cases
- use irc from a web browser
- keep a persistent irc connection running on a server
- set up irc for non-technical users without screen/irssi
- self-host a multi-user irc web client
- log irc messages while disconnected
When to choose
- you want to study an abandoned Node.js/React IRC client codebase
- you need a historical example of websocket-based chat UIs
When to avoid
- you need a working web IRC client today - use The Lounge instead
- you expect active maintenance or support
- you need a production-ready multi-user IRC gateway
