glowing bear is a sleek, modern web frontend that securely connects to a running instance of weechat using its builtin relay protocol. it relies on weechat to do all the heavy lifting and then provides some nice features on top of that, like embedding images, videos, and other content. the best part, however, is that you can use it from any modern internet device whether it's a computer, tablet, or smart phone and all your stuff is there, wherever you are. you don't have to deal with the messy technical details, and all you need to have installed is a browser or our app.
