SimpleIRC is an IRC client that I've been working on for over a year now. It first started as a mediocre Java client, which I ported to Qt early this year and published to the Nokia Store for Symbian^3 devices. Now, it's on the N9!

Porting it to the N9 wasn't easy though, considering that I had to redo the UI logic using QML, since the Qt C++ widgets don't have the native platform look and feel in MeeGo Harmattan. However, it's done and I'm quite happy with the result, except for one missing feature which is the inability to launch links from the chat area. You'll also notice that the Settings and Servers screen doesn't make use of Qt Quick Components since that interface was built while the components were still being developed.

I'm making it available to download for free at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/48083333/rig....0.5_armel.deb

If you like the software and would like to pay for it, it will be available on the Store for the N9 at the 1EUR/$0.80 price point once it passes QA. If you'd like to support by purchasing the Symbian^3 version instead, that's available from http://store.ovi.com/content/126643 at the 3EUR/$2.29 price point.

Feedback welcome!

Love it!

Suggestion: Upload it at http://apps.formeego.com !

Another suggestion:
Can you add the most used servers as a "bookmark"?
It's kina annoying to search for the settings for the most common servers (like Freenode.net and efnet.org )

Maybe extract the bookmark list from xChat and add it in your app.
That would be awesome!

Great IRC is the future !

is it opensource ? also I am looking for a scriptable client to support xmpp :

BTW I finally tested e6irc too

Store link is now live at http://store.ovi.com/content/219448

I've made some changes and improvements in 2.0.6 including the scroll to bottom feature and the ability to click on links. I'll be uploading it shortly.

Is the ignore commmand implemented,if so how to use it?
