I use irssi on the server with Irssi ConnectBot https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.woltage.ir... and Hacker's Keyboard https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.pocketwork... . Why is SSHing from a phone no fun? Honest question, what am I missing out on?

Hi! I'm the author of TapChat.

Scrolling and switching between windows is quite slow and unpleasant with Irssi+Screen+ConnectBot on a phone. TapChat has a native UI and is much more responsive regardless of your connection quality. It also sends push notifications to your phone when someone mentions or messages you.

There's an app called "Irssi ConnectBot" that adds support for scrolling and switching windows with touch gestures.

I actually linked to it but didn't write the full name, fixed.
