Guix

catgirl is a TLS-only terminal IRC client.

Notable features include:

• Tab complete: most recently seen or mentioned nicks are completed first. Commas are inserted between multiple nicks.

• Prompt: the prompt clearly shows whether input will be interpreted as a command or sent as a message.

• Split scroll: keeps the latest messages in view while scrolling.

• URL detection: recent URLs from a particular user or matching a substring can be opened or copied.

• Nick coloring: color generation based on usernames remains stable across nick changes. Mentions of users in messages are colored.

• Topic diffing: the modified portion of a channel topic change is highlighted.
