Components
IRC Cloud is a chat application that allow users to chat one another. irc client runs on browsers and connections still stay open when user go off lineyour connection still stay open,even when you log out your connection still stay open . irc client operates by the user joining a hostname and entering all authentications. while sending messages on this platform, errors cannot be corrected and users are not displayed.
Proposal
My proposal goes thus....
deleting and editing sent messages : When you type and send some messages through irc cloud and you have the power to correct the committed errors after the messages might have been sent then it is said to have the capacity to delete and edit messages to correct errors. Basically, deleting of sent messages means retrieving a sent messages and erasing it both from your end and on the receivers end while editing sent messages means fetching a sent messages and adjusting one or two things in it before re sending it to the recipient.
Show on line users : irc cloud is very different from other that deals with sending online messages. it responds to only selected hostnames and you can have as many as possible irc clients on the server.showing all users online will be very interesting. this feature will display all the online users on each host where you have a created domain.
Mockups / Examples
if you long press on the sent messages, a drop down will display the available components in this category which is Delete and Edit
Benefits
When there is opportunity to correct mistakes, it is very clear that every message sent will be free of errors. editing sent messages will make users correct mistakes after messages might have been sent to recipient. Any mistakenly sent messages can be deleted on the system at any time and also messages that are implicating can be deleted after passing the information across.This feature will enable users to check and balance their sent messages without the fear of "once message is sent ,you are done" .
Showing online users on irc cloud is also very important because you will be able to see all those that are online on each hostnames you joined. it will enable users to know who is online at a particular time on the platform. All these features are very important and it will be nice if they are added to IRC Cloud in their later development/upgrade.
