Gnotty

What is Gnotty?

Gnotty is a versatile and comprehensive solution that bridges the gap between the web and Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channels, empowering open-source projects to enhance collaboration and communication within their communities. At its core, Gnotty offers a modern and responsive web client, allowing users to seamlessly interact with an IRC channel directly from their web browsers. Powered by the gevent library and WebSockets, Gnotty's web server ensures efficient and real-time communication between the web interface and the IRC channel

Highlights

• Web-based IRC client: Gnotty provides a fully responsive and customizable web interface, built upon Twitter's Bootstrap, enabling users to access and participate in IRC channels from any device, including mobile
• Customizable IRC bots: Gnotty's framework allows for the creation and configuration of various types of IRC bots, which can perform tasks such as message logging, user interaction, and integration with external services through webhooks
• Optional IRC message archiving: Gnotty offers an optional Django application that archives all IRC messages, enabling users to browse and search the conversation history through a web interface, with features like keyword search and calendar-based navigation
• Standalone or Django-integrated: Gnotty can be deployed as a standalone gevent web server, providing the web interface and configurable IRC bots, or it can be integrated with a Django project, leveraging the Django application's features for IRC message archiving and web-based access.
