Our IRC bot/logger, BotBot.me

Hi everyone! BotBot.me is a side project we've been working on for the last few months. BotBot is an IRC bot and logger with a pretty web interface. To be honest, we're not quite sure what direction to take with the project at the moment and would to hear your feedback. Since we use it internally, our roadmap includes sending SMS/email messages to offline users, providing a "what I missed" view and some 3rd party integrations. You can read a little more about the project and the tech at http://lincolnloop.com/blog/2012/dec/5/introducing-botbot/ and the site lives at https://botbot.me.

Our IRC bot/logger, BotBot.me launched on December 5, 2012 with 14 votes, #101 of 501 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 13 years on.

In plain words

BotBot.me is an IRC bot and logger with a web interface designed for IRC users who want to maintain chat history and stay informed when offline. The service logs conversations and provides a "what I missed" view so users can catch up on channel activity. Built by Lincoln Loop as an internal tool, planned features include SMS and email notifications for offline users and third-party integrations. BotBot functions as a replacement for traditional bouncers with a more user-friendly interface.
