[zeromq-dev] An interesting use-case for EdgeNet : Asynchronous IRC?

[Sean Robertson]

I have something like this in the works, in the form of an iOS application
that I hope to soon port to Android. It doesn't properly use Zyre but
rather my own haphazard  reimplementation, due to some silliness with
Apple's UDP broadcast (https://github.com/zeromq/czmq/issues/297). The UI
works decently though. I'll send the code to this list later this week.
