# ltworf/localslackirc: IRC gateway for slack, running on localhost for one user

**[Lobsters](https://daily.dev/sources/lobsters)** · 5 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

This post discusses the idea of creating a localhost IRC server that functions as a gateway for one user of Slack, allowing them to use Slack from IRC instead of the web app. It highlights advantages such as customizing notifications, ignoring users, and leaving channels without getting reinvited. It provides instructions for installation, obtaining a token, and connecting to localslackirc with an IRC client.
