It has been 7 months since my last update. I have not had a lot of time to work on the website, but we have reached a milestone of 25 IRC networks being actively indexed.

I have migrated the site to PostgreSQL 12 from MySQL 8.0. The site is running faster than it ever has, and indexing times are cut in half.

I will keep this short and simple. A lot of features continue to be built and improved. The network admin portion has been improved. Lots of bugs that need to be found/fixed.

Thanks to everyone for the support. …

As we get closer to the full 3.0 release of IRC Driven, I wanted to point out some new features and changes.

Network Pages

The network pages section is almost entirely built and manageable. When a network is registered, the first person goes through a check where a bot sees if you are an IRCop and sends you a notice with a link to approve/deny the request.

The bots have been entirely rewritten in Python with the Twisted Library. All major bots are fully functional, including the indexer.
This includes these bots:

• Indexer Bot
• Presignup Bot
• Admin checking bot
• Admin Debug Bot (you will never see this).

I have finished adding all the parts needed for you to submit news related to your network. You can even display it publically on the home page (with approval). Markdown is supported.

Have fun!

So it’s been almost 2 years. After several pushes by several people, I continued development on IRC Driven. I’ve added a ton of stuff already, the indexer functionality is almost entirely completed, but at this current state can now index IRC networks at it’s current state.

I am almost ready to put the site into Beta 2. I am always seeking people to help with development as I am currently the sole developer for the website. The site is written in Python/Django. The API is written in Django Rest Framework. The IRC bots are written in Python with the Twisted …

We have bought an EU server online, this server is located in Spain

You heard it! Thanks to ComputerTech, TechNet is now the guinea pig for me to abuse in order to test functionality for the bots.

I, in no way endorse IRC networks as that is a conflict of interest and am honestly only writing this news posting to get the feature …
