Hello! I am considering an implementation of IRC with nostr authentication for the integrated Owncast chat. I think it could be interesting to combine them in this way, as it would provide a bit more permanence to the integrated chat. When live, a new ephemeral chat can become active for the current session, while other channels could persists across streams. I don't intend to integrate nostr relay based chats but anyone is welcome to do so. I am mostly interested in the few functions listed in the oni repo. Live broadcast events, then authentication with IRC, and NWC + zaps for both users and the admin. Potentially from there NIP-25 reactions could also be worked into the IRC client (looking at Ergo) @cloud fodder and 121 others has an instance running with nostr auth at noirc.net I'm usually hanging out in there as well if anyone wants to chat with us!
