Sic is a minimalist terminal irc client. I tested it on Linux Mint
after having read this article (sorry, in French)
[https://prx.ybad.name/19.html](https://prx.ybad.name/19.html),
article in which it is described and explained how to personalize it,
add colors, etc. Not a lot of options, but simplicity is the key here.

Why post this if you're not even going to put it into your own words
why it's interesting?

\> sic is an extremely simple IRC client. It consists of less than 250
lines of code. It is the little brother of [irc
it](https://tools.suckless.org/ii).

Who uses SLOC as the only selling point?

I thought it was interesting to know that such a simple irc client
exists and give it a try. Nothing more. If my post is annoying, then I
will delete it...

It's not like this subreddit is very active, just include a few things
in the post, like why use it, how your experience was, etc.

Neat :D is it light on resources and how does it handle IRCv3
capabilities?

> how does it handle IRCv3 capabilities


It hardly even handles the IRC rfc. It understands channel joins,
messages and changes to the user's nick. That's about it.
