KiwiIRC IRCv3 UI

KiwiIRC plugin bundle for modern IRC UI extras:

• IRCv3/tag-style message replies (+reply) with reply previews and jump-to-original
• Emoji reactions over IRC message tags / TAGMSG
• Typing indicator bridge/polish for clients that send typing TAGMSGs
• Single custom emoji button placement in Kiwi's composer
• Composer layout fixes for reply/typing previews on desktop and mobile
• Safety watchdog for stuck Kiwi history/join loading states

This was built against KiwiIRC + Ergo and tested with The Lounge interop. Treat reactions/replies as tag-based experimental IRCv3-style behavior: other clients may ignore the tags unless they implement compatible UI.

Files

dist/plugin-emojis.js
dist/plugin-reactions.js
example/config-snippet.json

Load plugin-emojis.js before plugin-reactions.js.

Install from npm

npm install kiwiirc-ircv3-ui

Copy the browser plugins into your KiwiIRC static plugins directory, for example:

cp node_modules/kiwiirc-ircv3-ui/dist/plugin-*.js /path/to/kiwiirc/static/plugins/

Then add them to your KiwiIRC static/config.json:

{
  "plugins": [
    {
      "name": "ircv3-ui-emojis",
      "url": "static/plugins/plugin-emojis.js?v=0.1.0"
    },
    {
      "name": "ircv3-ui-reactions",
      "url": "static/plugins/plugin-reactions.js?v=0.1.0"
    }
  ]
}

If your Kiwi deployment aggressively caches static/config.json, add or update the config meta tag in index.html:

<meta name="kiwiconfig" content="static/config.json?v=0.1.0">

Server/client notes

Recommended IRC capabilities:

• message-tags
• echo-message
• draft/event-playback when available

Replies are sent using the +reply message tag. Reaction support uses message tags / TAGMSG; compatibility depends on your IRC server and other clients.
