Introducing the new Igloo: a complete overhaul delivering an IRC Client with enhanced performance and stability. This latest version, reengineered from the ground up, offers a refined user experience while maintaining the simplicity and versatility you expect from Igloo. What's New: • Multi-File DCC/XDCC: Enhanced to support simultaneous file transfers, now conveniently stored locally for immediate access. • Redesigned User Interface: A cleaner, more intuitive UI paired with a selection of themes, elevating your chat experience. • Optimized for Bouncers: Advanced features tailored for a seamless experience with popular bouncers like ZNC. Core Features: • Comprehensive Network Support: Compatible with all IRC networks, including Freenode, Libera, Rizon, EFnet, and more. • Secure Communication: Ensured by SSL/TLS encryption. • ZNC Integration: Seamless integration with ZNC and a Push Notification module (https://push.igloo.app). • Versatile File Sharing: File, image, audio, and video sharing supported through platforms like Arxius.io and Imgur.com. • Enhanced Input Completion: For channels, nicks, and commands. • Inline Media Viewing: Experience inline media display for a more engaging chat environment. • Customization and Compliance: Customize your experience with inline nick coloring, full formatting with 99 color support, and adherence to IRCv3 standards. • VoiceOver Accessibility: Enhanced accessibility features including VoiceOver integration to support our vision-impaired users. We're committed to evolving Igloo based on your feedback. If there are features you'd like to see in future updates, please let us know at contact@igloo.app or join us at #igloo on iglooirc.com.

So I’ve seen this pop up few days ago and the price tag that comes with it. I was pretty keen to support the team again since I loved the classic version so much, but decided I’d see what’s different. Well. A lot of the customising features are gone. You cannot decide what color your username will be, you cannot disable part and quit message spam anymore, the timestamps are either in the format [hh:mm:ss] or not there at all. You can’t shorten them down. My hopes for this was you could select multiple lines for copy/paste. Finally keep long term logs of chats.Have more complex operator commands at your disposal with the chance to write custom messages for kick/bans or to be able to time limit them. But none of this is yet available. Would love to see where this goes and I will be happy to foot the bill.

A lot of these things are actually available, maybe you missed them or maybe they've been added since you left this review. You can hide join/part/quit, you can hide seconds in timestamps, and you can also choose the amount of messages per channel you want to save (however, keep in mind the more channels you have and the more messages you save may impact your startup time). Multi line copy/paste is in the todo list, and I'd like to hear more about the op commands. Send an email or hop into the support channel, that's basically how I've been deciding what to work on for the day.The main goal of this new app was to have a nice foundation to start with unlike the previous app which was my first app I've ever made and was a nightmare to work on because of that. The old app also had way too many options that people didn't use, so this app stuck to the core settings that I knew people wanted, and figured I can easily add the others back as people ask.As for your comment about the price, IRC itself is very niche with very few users, people using IRC on mobile is even less, and those people using iOS is even less because most IRC users are very open source oriented. Given that, I hope you can understand that at this price it just makes it possible for me to spend time on it, compared to before where I could barely buy myself a burger and shake every month from the revenue.
