An interesting project needs to fulfill a couple of requirements that I think this specific one doesn't: solves a problem that people have in some capacity, it's proven to be something more than a one weekend adventure, and is actually doing something innovative or interesting.

I understand I'm being overly negative here, and that there's at least 60 people disagreeing with me, but tell me why is this project interesting for you?

Maybe if we let people here just vote on the projects that get attention? And then rank them by votes against whatever else (with some algorithm that does attrition by time or something). Would that make it more acceptable?

[mariusor]

Indeed. Maybe it's not obvious from my previous posts, but I am not actually arguing against OP, or anyone else, posting their pet project, rather against the 60+ people that are actually finding it "interesting". :)

Opposing views are always good for improvement. I'm easy to please, so just seeing irc client mentioned gets me interested, but more than that I would say the fact that this terminal client natively builds for windows as well is nice as I could use it in my work computer in a terminal app tab.

1. Written in Go, not C so I might be able to contribute. 2. Not crazy complex to configure (lost my old weechat config, and I'm not going through all that effort again). 3. Can be embedded into other go applications (see above where it was originally written to be embedded into a music TUI).

Will this project end up as a small weekend project with only a few users? Possibly, but that isn't a reason not to create something and share what it with people.

There's a ton a great software that started to solve a problem that the developer had, that eventually hit pretty mainstream usage.

I think you misunderstood that the goal is to make an irc client that uses bubbletea mate
