But WeeChat in a terminal multiplexer + Glowing Bear offers you exactly that. When you read something in Glowing Bear, it is marked as read in WeeChat. You can access it securely from anywhere with any modern browser or smart phone / tablet. When you feel like using the native command-line client, just ssh/mosh into your server and attach to your tmux/screen session. There are other relay clients as well if you want to use those.

(Sync from WeeChat to Glowing Bear and between multiple instances is something we're working towards with the developer of WeeChat)

Why do you guys hate IRC bounces so much? You're investing a lot of time trying to convict me that I should ditch my ZNC and replace it with something that replicates its functionality in a longer winded fashion.

I don't want to run my bounce in a detached screen session, I want a proper daemon. It's easier to install and manage if it's a proper daemon. And if I'm going to be using a terminal based IRC client (which I often do) then I'd be running Irssi.

I don't want your stupid halfway solution when I already have a proper IRC bounce set up that does all that and more.
