Why does it need sudo to run on port 3000?
OT: but I need something like this but a client that sits in the background. Basically like quassel-core but that thing is written in C++ and is a hassle to install and configure.

It shouldn't. The install script copies files that you need super user privs to get at (specifically, /usr/lib), but after it's installed, you should be able to run the aIRChat server (node Content/app.js) without sudo.

znc?
Looks like thus is c++ as well.
The problem with most IRC software is that they're not always online. The usual solution is irssi, which is what I've used for the last 6 years.
It might be a stretch to call it "world's most modern" IRC client when it looks like a pretty generic client. I really think at some point the word modern just won't make sense in the same sentence as "IRC". I think as your first node project it looks pretty cool though.
> It might be a stretch to call it "world's most modern" IRC client when it looks like a pretty generic client. Haha, I definitely agree. I'm just trying hard to pitch it to people who might be less familiar with other clients. The word "modern" means a lot to people, it turns out. > I think as your first node project it looks pretty cool though. Thanks so much!

As interesting off-topic trivia, it was written in Erlang.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Looks really nice - especially the part where multiple networks are in the very first screenshot! How are you handling persistence tho? Straight up in-memory storage?
Yes, right now it's only in memory. I've been thinking about storing the logs in .txt-files (with the option to turn this feature on/off). This way, I could let the user download the logs directly via the browser.

If you mean not always connected to IRC and that your solution is to run Irssi in a screen/tmux session on a server somewhere, it's considerably easier to use ZNC. http://wiki.znc.in/ZNC
