I built something like this (a long time ago) for my own purposes. So did a startup we're working with! That says there might be a need for it, but on the downside it's really simple to build, so competition can spring up very quickly.
Minor point: It would be nice to be able to click those screenshots and get bigger versions. It's currently very difficult to see what the application looks like.

I would be really excited to try this. Is it live yet? I always think it's better to save Show HN posts for products that we can actually play with. Looking forward to seeing this in any case.
I know... I know. I prefer that too. The trouble is this is for teams, you kinda have to have a team. We wanted to gauge interest so we've done it this way. If we can we'll go live for collections of people (if there are 2 or 3 people from the same company email domain) this week or next.
I have seen this strategy recommended to gauge interest, but have always been wary of doing it myself (for exactly this reason: people being like "wtf? this isn't real?").
It is probably one of those things that should be done, even if it makes you uncomfortable.

Can you publish your numbers afterward? Or just whether you thought it was worth it?

And yes. I will publish results later in the week.
Looking forward to seeing the product!
Well, that was deflating. Sent out the link to several co-workers (since we are looking for this sort of tool right now) and then we all get the "We'll let you know when we go live" email. So thanks for making me look like an idiot.

It's all emacslisp. Including the webserver (it's elnode). So there is an irc bouncer written in elisp tightly integrated with the elnode webapp. The bouncer uses a modified rcirc (built into emacs) to connect to the irc servers. The robot framework is also written in emacslisp. The irc servers are ngircd and the webserver is nginx.
Bomb-diggity. I saw your gravatar and immediately thought "Omy is this an el-node projet!?" Sweet.
