| - | ===== IRCv3 F.A.Q. ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Aspects of IRC that IRCv3 (supposedly) is not addressing/did not address: | ||
| - | |||
| - | Does not provide an easy way to upload a file in-band to a public channel (you can't share code snippets, photos, or videos with your irc client, you need to use a web browser) | ||
| - | https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/pull/341 <--- might be able to also include file uploads, WIP | ||
| - | |||
| - | Does not sync messages properly on phones (messages are often lost or repeated) | ||
| - | Elaboration needed as to what exactly is meant; IRC session on phone A is 100% independent of IRC session on device B. Bouncer relaying? if that, then statement is true | ||
| - | |||
| - | Does not provide recipient confirmations for when a message is delivered (echo-message only provides server confirmations, not recipient confirmations) | ||
| - | https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/pull/346 <--- WIP | ||
| - | |||
| - | Does not provide buddy lists | ||
| - | MONITOR (similiar to WATCH) as possibility? | ||
| - | |||
| - | Does not provide HTTP tunneling to bypass firewalls | ||
| - | Outside of their scope likely, networking issues created by ISP's, which IRCv3 does not work with in an official capacity | ||
| - | |||
| - | Cannot handle frequent disconnects from mobile clients | ||
| - | Has to do with mobile connections frequently "dialing into" the next available "post"/source and apple shuts down background processes of non-apple apps after 3 minutes; beyond the scope of IRCv3 and perhaps not fixable at all | ||
| - | |||
| - | Cannot handle audio/video calls | ||
| - | https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/pull/341 <--- could be used with Jitsi Meet | ||
| - | |||
| - | Does not provide a standardized registration interface | ||
| - | https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/pull/276 <--- resubmitted and still considered non-deployable; grounds for IRCNow to work and improve (requires client authors to integrate a good GUI though) | ||
