linkr - A simple IRC/Slack bridge

Requirements

• = Go ~1.2

• Slack account w/bot access
• IRC w/option nickserv registration

Running linkr

1. Go to your org's Slack page
2. Add a Slack API integration under DIY
3. Choose a name for the bot and grab the API token

Notes

• This adds a security risk if your IRC channels are public. You need to be invited to an organization's Slack to participate while IRC has a freer nature. Consider using invite-only/password channels.

To do:

• Use CLI flags where they make sense
• Nicer error messages that explain what went wrong
• Handle more types of IRC/Slack events
• Cache Slack names and other metadata?
