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.logs 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)
