RSS FeedWhile I am still learning about programming, I like the general idea… that is, developers scratching itches.
A lot of programs start out by doing just that. A developer has a personal need, and then writes an application to meet that need.
It’s how I approach purchasing software, as well. I needed an IRC client for work. We use it to share information about support calls, in real time. Being a Mac user, I wanted something with some *beauty* to it. Something in GUI form. That’s what good Mac apps are made of.
I’d used irssi previously, but as someone said today on IRC, that’s using the terminal in a way it wasn’t intended to be used. Why resort to a hack, when you can use something that builds on the strengths of the Mac?
Linkinus scratches my itches. I like an app with a well-designed interface. As I’ve said before, I think Linkinus is the best-looking IRC client on the market.
I needed an IRC client that had the options that Linkinus provides, and it’s only going to get better from here!
What do *you* use IRC for? How does Linkinus meet your needs?
