Trying to write a IRCv3 client in Go and Vue that's backed by Electron. It's quite early on and doesn't even work yet, but I plug away at it in my spare time. I could use some help doing the Vue portion, if anyone is interested: https://github.com/kodah/girc

The idea is to have a chat client that can have panes that more resemble Discord with rich media utilizing IRCv3 tags as well as a configurable pane for more traditional terminal style views.

The motivation is that I'm not really a Matrix user. I like Freenode and that's really the only place I want to hang out. I do want a modern IRC client though, one that can grow as IRCv3 is growing. One that could potentially rival Slack, Mattermost, and Gitter while staying open source.
