Disclaimer

This application is in it's very early stages; it is far from being ready for use! It is full of sample data, and no real functionality behind it. When being run, it currently connects to irc.esper.net #rirc!

Dependencies

• node.js (>=0.4.0)
• node-webkit
• irc

How to run?

In order to run the app you need node-webkit (as listed above). Before you begin, please do npm install in the project root, that should install all the dependencies for you. The next thing is to run the app. The easiest way is to drag the whole repository (root folder) folder onto nw.exe which you should have downloaded allready (along with a bunch of dll's and files). If you want to make an executable file out of it, refer to node-webkit's documentation! That's it, you should be up and runing!

Developing / Debugging

When you are developing it is really annoying to drag the whole folder onto the nw.exe every time you make a change. In order to make your life easier, change "toolbar": false to "toolbar": true in package.json, and you should see a big reload button and a debug button to see the developer tools you are used to!
