I'm considering using it. It's really nice to be able to idle in chatrooms without risking losing history if my computer dies as well as have a unified experience supported across web clients in all my platforms (I'm not really a fan of any of the windows-based or linux based IRC clients out there).

It seems worth it for me to throw this on a DO droplet, give it a URL and totally forget about having missed something again. Right now I just use Textual with all the default configs installed and don't do anything fancy. For a casual IRC user who doesn't want to go into much more effort than that to preserve history or have seamless client experience/settings and am willing to pay 5 bucks a month to host in the cloud somewhere, I think I'm the target audience here.
