This same idea was my excuse to learn javascript/node :) I went the "re-invent the wheel" route and skipped node-irc and Backbone for extra javascript fun.
The interface looks good from the screenshots but how well does it work on a phone? For that reason I went with a minimal terminal-like interface to make it possible.
Haven't done any work (yet) on a mobile interface. I think it would scale down pretty well by simply cutting out the sidebars past a certain screen size threshhold (via media queries), and making them dropdowns or something at the top. I'm not a designer though, so making that look good is the challenge.

I will check this out tonight. Good job.
