# ReflectionIRCd

ReflectionIRCd is an IRCd that interfaces with Matrix, allowing you to use an IRC client to chat on Matrix.

This is **very much** not production-ready yet. There's `console.log`s all over the place, no testing or error checking, lots of bugs, etc.
That said, it is usable for basic chatting.

## Highlights

- IRC first: The goal is for modern IRC clients to have feature parity with any other Matrix client
- Standalone: Uses the Client-Server API, so you can use it with any homeserver
- Built-in bouncer: Multiple IRC clients can be authenticated to a Matrix user
- Multi-user support: Log into multiple Matrix accounts, or run an instance for your community (Note: this isn't fully functional yet)
