Best (easiest) way to crawl an IRC channel?
I found Irssi which apperantly has the capability to do this but the configuration is more complex than I hoped. While my experiments haven't concluded yet, is anybody aware of an easy to use IRC client that I can use to crawl the messages in an IRC channel?

Best IRCv3 experience on modern Mac OS?
Quassel - https://www.quassel-irc.org/ - looks like a contender and it supports MacOS, Srain (https://srain.silverrainz.me/) also has a more modern appearance and is built for GTK3 but I don't see official macOS builds available.
