IRC isn't Synchronet specific. It's Internet Relay Chat. You can use one of a million IRC clients out there. If you have a Linux shell and want text IRC, there is 'irssi' and 'wechat' and a ton of others. If you have Windows, there is AdiIRC and Hexchat and a ton more. If you have Mac, a lot of the clients are pay but you can compile Textual yourself for free (or I can put a compiled copy somewhere for you). With any of them, you just connect to irc.synchro.net.

For more infos, do a search on how to join IRC from <whatever OS you use>.

I use mIRC when on Windows and HexChat when on Linux or ChromeOS.

Btw, it's spelled "SyncTERM" (no 'h').

For Linux, at least, it would at least need continual development to support new Linux distros, and new versions of existing Linux distros.

what bugs? what new features do you want? you can add anything with scripting. do you even use irc or are you just pretending.

I'm with you here. Especially with any software working across a network, at a minimum security updates should be a thing. I'm not sure it's necessary to keep development going full time, as long as someone can provide security updates.

Check out the self-hosted Web-based client TheLounge (https://thelounge.chat). If you have a place to run it, like maybe a NAS that's always on, it's pretty nice to use from any platform with a modern browser. It even does push notifications to mobile browsers. Also it makes it nice and easy to switch from computer to computer (or device or whatever).

The way I've got it set up is: SSL proxy -> TheLounge -> ZNC -> IRC.
