Further reduce scope
The idea of hic now lives as xP within the xK project, and the idea of hib has been implemented within xC.

hib and hic -- IRC bouncer and client
 | 
			
		||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 | 
			
		||||
An IRC client is a good starting application for building a GUI toolkit, as the
 | 
			
		||||
UI can afford to be truly minimalistic and most of it is text.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
To resolve an issue I have with my current IRC client, the client is going to be
 | 
			
		||||
split into two parts: a bouncer that manages all connections and state, and
 | 
			
		||||
a separate GUI that communicates with the backend over TLS/WebSocket.  Perhaps
 | 
			
		||||
only the per-buffer input line is going to be desynchronized.

 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The higher-level client-server API could be made rather generic to allow for
 | 
			
		||||
smooth integration with non-IRC "backends" such as Slack or Mattermost.
