Hi there 👋

shout's Issues

Fix '/msg' command

Remove Backbone dependency

Support server passwords

22:24 cshard ... adding support for server password would be useful

Add support for channel logs

Enabled/disabled via the configuration.
The logs could be saved like this: ~/.shout/users/<user>/logs/<network>/<chan>.log

Language problems.

Hi,
UTF -8 articles with the language code appears rough. iso-8859-9 How do I want to do?

Collapse joins/quits in one line

Add notification when disconnected from shout server

Save users in ~/.shout/ folder

Right now users are kept in the users/ folder.

However, when using Shout installed via npm -g install shout this folder isn't writeable out of the box. Right now you need to use sudo shout add-user <name> to add new users.

Using the ./shout folder would solve this problem.
This folder is already use to store thumbnails (./shout/cache/thumbs).

Add support for user modes

User modes are currently not available from the slate-irc library:
https://github.com/erming/slate-irc

Sort channel owners to top

In the channel user list in the right column, users are grouped by type then sorted alphabetically. Currently the users types are sorted:

1. @op
2. +voice
3. %halfop
4. normal
5. ~owner

In my opinion it would be better to sort the types like this:

1. ~owner
2. @op
3. %halfop
4. +voice
5. normal

Autoscroll breaks when posting images

Should fix asap.

TODO: version 1.0.0 (deprecated)

This is the list of planned features for the version 1.0.0 release.
Suggestions are welcome.

• Add node-webkit builds
• Basic authentication
• Dynamic page title
• Grunt
• Join channels from GUI
• Join networks from GUI
• Keyboard shortcuts
• Logging
• Logo
• Multiple user support
• Notification sound
• Plugins
• Remember active window between page loads
• Settings page
• Theme support
• Update Socket.IO to version 1.0
• Website (GitHub pages)

Add keybindings

Should be able to cycle through channels with keybindings.

Something like:

Ctrl+up   # Up one channel
Ctrl+down # Down one channel

Tab to complete usernames

Currently tab to complete automatically selects the first occurrence it can find.

Optimally I think it should either:

1. Stop once it has more than one option and wait for you to type another letter, like tab to complete does in linux.
2. Show you a dropdown list that you can navigate to select the user you want.

shout add: password visible

Adding password should not be visible. :)

Mobile interface

Default theme

API docs

Toggle sidebar by clicking chat window

Clicking somewhere on the red area should toggle the sidebar:

Ping @papajuanito

Close button not working on Firefox

Could probably be solved by adding some z-index values.

Add support for running shout server as a daemon

Perhaps investigate the https://github.com/nodejitsu/forever package?

Context menu on right click

Inspired by Dropbox:

Here's some example context menus:

Right click on user

• Kick
• Kick & Ban
• Op / Deop
• Voice / Devoice

Right click on channel

• Get topic
• Leave

Right click on network

• Set nick
• Quit

Add password protection

"No ident" on EFNet servers

Love the client! Clean and minimalistic. I can't connect to any EFNet servers. This is what I get.

-!- *** Processing connection to irc.du.se 06:39
-!- *** Looking up your hostname... 06:39
-!- *** Checking Ident 06:39
-!- *** No Ident response 06:39
-!- *** Found your hostname 06:39

Change favicon when highlights or unread messages

This is a test.

Yes. It is.

Add theme support

Better click detection on smartphones

Need to find a good way to overcome the 300ms delay on jQuery click events that "just works".

Make left menu bar collapsable and adjustable by dragging

Add split view

Here's a mockup of the feature:

The "split" would be draggable so the user can adjust the sizes of the windows.

Add SSL support

Add CTCP replies

Technically, it should respond to CTCP queries, such as VERSION and CLIENTINFO. It currently just receives those as private messages.

Load images inline?

Hi, I was wondering if you could add this feature. I'll give it a go myself but my JS isn't great..

Networks don't reappear if you disconnect.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Load page.
2. Remove the Freenode Network.
3. Reload/Attempt to do anything.

Result: No way to join back into a server. :(

Add SASL support

Better way to edit config

When installed via npm install -g shout, the config is located at:
/usr/lib/node_modules/shout/config.json.

And that sucks.

I need to find a way to make this easier.

Some options I have:

• Implement configuration from the command line
• Use a .shoutrc file

Node-webkit builds

I've done this in the past (https://github.com/erming/shout-build).
It worked really well, but I feel that I need to polish it a bit more before publishing these builds.

What's missing:

• Icons for the Windows, Mac and Linux builds. This is not cross-platform.
• Running Shout starts a webserver — I need to lock this down when running the native client.

Will update this issue when I release the builds.
Stay tuned.

Private messages should always highlight

Multiple user support

I've had people requesting multiple users.
If you want multiple users today, you'll have to run multiple instances. This is kind of tedious.

To begin with, the config could look something like this:

module.exports = {
  port: 9000,
  users: [{
    login: "user",
    password: "",
    nick: "nick",
    realname: "Full Name",
    networks: [{
      host: "irc.freenode.org",
      port: 6667,
      channels: [
        "#shout-irc"
      ]
    }]
  }]
};

Fix failing thumbnails

If an message contains a link which ends with .jpg, .png or .gif, the Shout server will fetch the image.
But it does not handle 404 responses very well.

The fix:
Don't try to create thumbnails from failed links.

Pre-fetch links from chat messages

Inspired by how Facebook handles links.

When someone posts a link, I want to pre-fetch that link and display information directly in the chat.

This could then be extended to work with:

• Thumbnails
• YouTube movie information
• GitHub info
• ...

Render icons as <svg> instead of base64

Icons in sidebar

I'd like to add icons to the sidebar.
This should be very pretty quick to implement.

The sidebar items that need icons:

• Network
• Channel
• User

Because the range of Octicons is quite slim, I'll probably use FontAwesome for this.

Add shout to docker

Add SOCKS support

Set the public to false not working.

Hello,

I tried to set the public to false and it's asking me for user. So I added one:

shout add-user <my-name>

then running shout again prompt me with:

➜  ~  shout

No users found!
Create a new user with 'shout add-user <name>'.

Am I missing something?

Enable /quote usage

I'm trying to use ZNC and need to be able to use /quote in order to authenticate.

Bring back JOIN/PART/QUIT toggle

Linkifier includes > in link href

For example, join #twisted-dev:

topic Twisted (http://twistedmatrix.com/;) || This channel is for discussion of development of Twisted itself; for discussing usage of Twisted or applications using it, see #twisted. || TWISTED PREVAILS

In shout the link to twistedmatrix.com includes the ">", which breaks it. < and > are specifically called out as invalid in links (and suggested as use as delimiters) by the relevant RFC.

Add 'Heroku Button'

Heroku just recently released their Heroku Button. This is a amazing project to implement it.

I'd like to run my own shout server on heroku, so I won't hit the connection limit.
