Couldn't go to sleep until I built an app to bridge IRC channels with coolr
Discussion
Really cool. I think I will change my NIP draft to use the same IRC channel naming conventions/spec. Its not quite the same at the moment. This should help.
If you want to test it, I have a bot running that bridges messages from the "irc" channel on wss://relay.damus.io to ircs://irc.zeronode.net:6697/#nostr
Oh nice! Here's my Matterbridge one that I hacked together for the Satellite Spotlight: https://github.com/ericpp/matterbridge
@hzrd149 's is almost certainly more robust since he's an expert that all things Nostr.
Mine only does the NIP-53 Live Chats (kind 1311) attached to Live Events (kind 30311) on Zap/Tunestr/wherever whereas nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr 's uses NIP-EC Ephemeral Chats (kind 23333) for standalone IRC-like ephemeral chat rooms on coolr.chat
There's also the NIP-28 Public Chats that NostrChat.io uses for chat rooms that's separate from both.
Maybe we need a new NIP to unify these chatty NIPs?

Wait .. what is going on here ? Did I hear #IRC ?
I build a simple bot that can be used to bridge ephemeral chat messages in nostr relays https://www.coolr.chat/ to IRC channels
Its probably not very useful but its a fun experiment
