Hi Wout,
Would https://botbot.me/freenode/nixos/ do the trick?
Best,
Graham

ok, then how about at the very least an IRC bot that sends you a
recent history when you connect, and that lets you search the logs?
I presume such a bot must exist?

Dear Wout,
you can't grep discord. Search there is atrocious.
Slack, on the other hand has an amazing full text search engine,
which is a huge part in its success.
However, as search over slack has some heuristics, when I need
plain dumb (or pretty elaborate) grep, I can't run it over history
of Slack.
Picking the tool is about engineering tradeoffs. Right now, IRC is
optimal given optimization parameters, starting from not sharding
the community, going through network resilience and system's fault
tolerance, ending with the degree of democracy IRC provides.

After having used Slack and Discord for a while, I can tell
you that having the recent chat log available with a quick
scroll up is very handy. Conversations can continue over a
longer period of time.
With IRC, you have to open your client, fire off your question
a few times and hope that someone will know the answer
eventually. I can't have IRC open at work all day.

It’s true, but it f* works.
Especially for developers, devs who can’t configure an IRC
client?
Are those people devs?
But I know the pain.
Hm, we even use IRC as main communication tool in our
Hackerspace,
and so far even non-tech people managed to get a basic
setup running.
Maybe no bouncer, but that’s not required strictly speaking.
