Shout

Shout has been renamed to The Lounge, its direct successor. Please refer to that page.

Shout was a self-hosted web IRC client that allowed you to stay connected to IRC from any browser. It was renamed to The Lounge in 2016. The legacy binary remains available on Bytesized (v0.53.0, last release before the rename).

To start Shout directly from the shell:
