Random musing from a couple of conceited indie Mac & iPhone developers. We like pretty things, we are good at everything, and we like to meet new people. We occasionally post things that might be of interest, so keep checking us out.

Linkinus for iPad has arrived.



With the US iPad launch in just a few hours, we are extremely pleased to announce Linkinus for iPad. Linkinus, the most powerful and flexible internet relay chat (IRC) software is now available on your brand new iPad. It’s easy to use and newcomers will instantly feel right at home thanks to its elegant design and over 330 built-in networks. We are launching with the introductory price of $7.99.

While Linkinus for iPad is at a very early stage, it provides many great features provided in the Mac version, including:

  • Network selector helps you pick servers from the most popular chat networks
  • Connect to an unlimited number of networks and channels
  • Highlights: IRC can be overwhelming, but with Linkinus you’ll never miss an important message. When someone mentions your nickname, that line will be highlighted so you don’t miss it.
  • Identities: it’s you, on IRC. Save your preferred and alternate nicknames in a reusable fashion. And if you provide password credentials, Linkinus will automatically authenticate to NickServ, NickOP, Q, X, G, SrvAuth and AuthServ.
  • Displays IRC colors
  • Autoconnect/autojoin features
  • All standard IRC commands supported from the input field, such as: /me, /all, /away, /ban, /bankick, /clear, /nick, /join, /query, /notice, /quit, /part, /topic, /server, …)
  • Blowfish support in channels & queries (/setkey sets the key, /delkey removes it, /key shows it). Automatic key exchange is also support via /keyx
  • Channel op commands (/op, /deop, /voice, /devoice, /halfop, /dehalfop, …)
  • OPER commands (/oper, /kill, /gline, …)
  • Exploding emoticons (tap to cause them to explode)

Linkinus for iPad costs $7.99 for a limited amount of time, and is available now in the App Store.
