Would it be possible to use this to host a Weechat instance with http://www.glowing-bear.org/ ? (I mean, the UI of course, but weechat itself is a bit challenging, since you need to generate an ssl cert, open some ports and whatnot.)
The general idea is that if an app needs IRC access, it can bother the user once to get it, and if it doesn't need IRC access, then it shouldn't ever have access to IRC (or the network).
This isn't ready yet, but good golly am I excited for us to finish it up so I can tell all my friends that Sandstorm is the easiest way to run an IRC bouncer.
