A personal Google Chat to IRC bridge written in Clojure, using zeiat.

Hangbrain acts as an IRC to Google Chat proxy -- you connect to it using an IRC client, and it connects to Chat on your behalf, using a headless browser, forwarding messages between the IRC client and the browser. It is single user only; you can't use it to host a general purpose IRC⟷Chat gateway or something. It's meant to be run on the same computer as your IRC client.
It supports a few command line flags for setting listen port, profile directory, and whatnot; run lein run -- --help for a list.
- Make sure you have
firefoxandgeckodriverinstalled. - Choose a profile directory. The default is
~/.config/hangbrain/and will be used for the rest of this README. - Create it:
mkdir -p ~/.config/hangbrain/. - Start Firefox pointing at the Hangbrain profile:
firefox -profile ~/.config/hangbrain/ - Browse to Google Chat, log in, and then close Firefox.
- Start Hangbrain:
lein run -- --port 1234 --profile ~/.config/hangbrain --browser /usr/bin/firefox - Start your IRC client and connect to
localhost:1234(or whatever port you ran it on) - Use
/listand/whoto list channels and DMs, and/joinand/queryto open them.
