A web client for WeeChat [![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.org/glowing-bear/glowing-bear.png)](https://travis-ci.org/glowing-bear/glowing-bear)
========================
**This branch is for use with Apache Cordova, see https://github.com/glowing-bear/glowing-bear-cordova**
Glowing Bear is a HTML5 web frontend for WeeChat that strives to be a modern and slick interface on top of WeeChat. It relies on WeeChat to do all the heavy lifting (connection, servers, history, etc) and then provides a few features on top of that, like content embedding (images, video) and desktop notifications.
Glowing Bear uses WeeChat directly as the backend through its relay plugin, which allows us to directly connect to WeeChat from the browser using Websockets. That means that the client does not need a special "backend service", everything is provided by the IRC client itself and this frontend is written in pure HTML/CSS/JavaScript.
