Native SwiftUI IRC client competing with Textual but still missing basic features.

  • •Native SwiftUI implementation ensures proper macOS integration and Liquid Glass materials.
  • •Core connection logic persists state correctly across sessions without Electron overhead.
Weaknesses
  • •Early development status means many expected IRC features are currently missing.
  • •Not notarized by Apple requires manual quarantine attribute stripping to launch.

Post Description

Brygga is in early development. The core client works end-to-end (connect, join, send, receive, persist) but many features you'd expect from a mature IRC client are still missing.
