What's currently stopping it: #40

Connected clients that are idle for more than a specified amount of time (config.js option?) will be disconnected.

The README suggests I should set NODE_ENV to "production", however..

maid@ns239154:~/Maid-IRC$ export NODE_ENV=production
maid@ns239154:~/Maid-IRC$ node maid.js
Starting Maid IRC.
Environment: production
Sorry! NODE_ENV: "production" is not recognized. Try "development" or "production".

It's not a huge deal, but this is how I'm supposed to do this, right?

When attempting to connect to an IRC server over SSL, I.E chat.freenode.net:7000 no such connection is made, however it seems that Maid-IRC keeps track of it anyway.

I think some screenshots would help to give an idea of ​​how you feel your irc client

When connecting to freenode 'irc.chans' is not defined for some reason. I don't understand what's causing it.

Should regex be used, or something created specifically for IRC?

As an administrator,
I want to be notified when starting the application if the version of MaidIRC is out-of-date
So that I can stay aware of new updates and/or security vulnerabilities, and update as required.

Additional requirements:

An option to disable this functionality will be required in config.js and as an environment variable. This will be for users who:

• Don't want to update
• Don't use NPM for updating
• Are in an environment that can't make external request

Users in channel: Phalanxia, PhalanxiaKitten
| = where the user's focused in the chat box.
"Pha| how are you" -> tab pressed -> "Phalanxia, |how are you"
"How are you Pha|" -> tab pressed -> "How are you Phalanxia|"
If you press tab again it will cycle through the users in the channel who start with "Pha"
"How are you Pha|" -> tab pressed -> "How are you Phalanxia|" -> tab pressed -> "How are you PhalanxiaKitten|"

Note: If the word being completed is at the beginning of the message ", " will be added to the end of the completed word. This will be optional and editable via the settings.

EDIT: This appears to happen for any server anywhere. It also causes the server to crash entirely.

It would be a nice addition if one could used the scroll-wheel or the up/down arrow keys to scroll though the last input messages.

• Close button doesn't work in Firefox
• Advanced options button doesn't work in Firefox
• Connect button redirects to 404 page saying "Cannot POST /" in Firefox
• Advanced options screen has no way to leave
• Port entry only allows ports 9999 and below. The fix for this one is very simple, just change 9999 to 65535 in client.jade
• You must connect to exactly one channel, instead of any number of channels

A Grunt task needs to be added in gruntfile.js for building an electron version of Maid-IRC. This will simple act as a viewer similar to viewing it in the web browser.

Maid-IRC should be able to detect if its in Electron and enable additional features accordingly.

Error, not css, preview 👎

I'm going to focus on just this for now because it really needs to be done if this is going to be developed further. The code is becoming way too messy and there are more and more bugs developing.

The way they are currently makes it hard to know which is which. Icons will help a lot more
