I really enjoy using IRC but it badly needs an update to work on phones without requiring the user to have a sign up for a 3rd party service (irc cloud, shell providers to run a bnc).

IRCv3 is out there but it seems to me to be simultaneously overengineered and underfeatured. I don't think they're focusing their efforts into the right areas to make IRC relevant again.

I used IRC for a while, but it logged me out one day, and I haveno idea what email I used to create my account, so I haven't been able to log back in. Recently I've been used a beta client on android called Revolution IRC which is fine for basic usage, however as I've expressed elsewhere in this thread, I've been wanting to develop an IRC client based on the Discord UI, which I'm familiar with.

What's missing for me is cross-device sync of scroll back logs, push notifications on @mention even if you're not connected, and proper user accounting to handle abuse.

I want to be able to leave my desktop at home and pick up where I left off on my phone (with out getting disconnected when I change cell towers) and not miss anything
