Soo I've always wanted to irc irl and it looks like it works on mobile so maybe I finally can!

I'd be interested in your "trip" report on trying to follow an IRC chat among 10 people on a mobile. Could someone add the tag #hubskidrinkclub to the above post. That way newbies can see some of the IRC history.

Yes, typing out responses via mobile does leave you a bit behind the flow of conversation. Reminded me of the old AOL chatrooms a 13yo me would frequent.

Even with a laptop, i found myself behind the flow of conversation.

Blink and you fall behind.

Haha I love how almost tribal it is. Very basic desire to understand and be understood through all the information.

There are plenty of apps available. Can't attest on their usability though, sometimes it's a bit hard to get it to work.
