Hello me and my buddy are working on a project that has been around
some time now but is now ready for the public. It is an IRC Client for
Windows called Burd IRC. We would appreciate you come check us out in
our IRC channel on freenode which is #burdirc

You can also check out our GitHub page: https://GitHub.com/burdirc

UPDATE: I noticed the comments please keep in mind that this is not
even close to finished. Many things need work. This is just early
public releases that are currently being deployed so we can try and
get people to try Burd IRC and give us feedback.

General advice: Always show screenshots of graphical applications.

Also not sure why you say for Windows when its an Electron app and
probably runs fine anywhere and has Linux binaries even.

Seconded. Also linking to a portfolio website instead of an
information site for the specific app is no bueno.

Christ on a cracker. That's horrifying.

Parser also doesn't seem compliant: https://github.com/BurdIRC/burd/bl
ob/71b68b99f96f77f568b49ba3361ac989bc08f937/js/parsedata.js

Not correctly case insensitive, some rigid expectations of what a
message contains, etc.

HTML rendering and DOM traversal in a socket listener is its own
horror. JavaScript developers just can't help themselves.

Satan creme brulee is yummy.

Wish someone could make a really sleek IRC client.
