Currently only +typing is supported for client-only tags, and within IRC events and the special "TAGMSG". Up to three nicknames will be shown in a channels input element placeholder value, more than 3 results in "Multiple people are typing..."
There's absolutely no setup required. Pure HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Connect to any IRC server that allows websockets and the underlying websocket protocol 'text.ircv3.net'
NOTE: Chromium based and FireFox do NOT allow ws:// sockets to be opened over a https:// connection! If you want to offer the ability to connect to both ws:// and wss:// this page must be hosted via http://, not https://. Unfortunately ONLY http connections can open both insecure and secure websockets, where https forces only secure sockets.
While testing, this does work on mobile web-browsers, chrome, firefox, even stock samsung internet, albiet with a few quirks. Certain things aren't standardized and implemented for mobile clients such as CSS "resize: both", while the control is visible, it does nothing. Other unique features requiring drag-n-drop have been forced with the usage of DragDropTouch.js
You can specify a "perform" query string which will execute a SINGLE command if this field is present. Useful for linking to your server and/or channels you wish people to join. Try out this Demo.
or try this one from the github pager: Libera.Chat Demo
There are currently 5 default "Favorites" (SwiftIRC running UnrealIRCd, Libera.Chat running solanum, Ergo running Ergo/Oragono, Unreal and WRNet another UnrealIRCd) which can be found under the star icon of any status window. Just click on one of the networks to connect to them.
