What I’m building

A free, modern reimplementation of MSN Chat (chat.msn.com) running on the original 1998 IRCx protocol. Browse rooms by category and chat in your browser — no plugins, no Java, no nostalgia tax. Power users can also point any IRC client at irc.redmond.chat over SSL.

• Browser-native — works in every modern browser
• Original IRCx (Microsoft's 1998 IRC extension) on the back end
• Secure IRC over SSL for traditional clients (irc.redmond.chat:6697)
• Browse rooms by category, just like the old days
• Free, open, and ad-free
