Slack’s new WYSIWYG input box is terrible

I'm curious, how does IRC handle history and multi-device sync?

How does IRC handle end-to-end encryption in groups?

How does IRC handle editing messages?

Servers can re-send history when a client join. At least InspIRCd supports this (though it's not enabled by default.)

I asked users for a desired feature list, and none of those were mentioned.

That's kind of like saying nobody mentioned they wanted wheels for their car, so you got them cars without wheels. What's the problem?

Quassel.

Blowfish normally.

Press up arrow, retype message, or type *correction.

Personally I dont need that stuff. Encryption maybe, but if we can run inside our VPN we should be good.
