Imagine if there were great Swift-based IRC and Usenet clients for macOS.

@jsit colloqy (sp?) may predate swift, but it’s still pretty good for irc.

Why is β€œswift” important to the equation?

@masukomi AppKit would work too, I just feel like Swift is where app development is headed.

Can you still download Colloquy?

@jsit yes, and it's on the mac app store https://colloquy.app/
Colloquy

@masukomi I saw that, but isn’t that just an iPad app running on macOS?
@jsit πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ dunno. you'd have to ask a geek who's familiar with XCode and the NS* frameworks, which is to say, not me. ;)
@masukomi There was once a true native Colloquy Mac app

@masukomi Wow actually it looks like there is a 2.5 "prerelease" of #Colloquy from 2021 on GitHub:
