Description
Brygga is in early development. The core client works end-to-end (connect, join, send, receive, persist) but many features you'd expect from a mature IRC client are still missing.Repo: https://github.com/buggerman/Brygga

Could you build this?
Yes IRC is a well-documented plaintext network protocol, and building a native Swift/SwiftUI client with standard socket networking and local SQLite persistence is a well-scoped desktop project.
