 ===== History ===== ===== History =====
 Toxic was originally [[https://github.com/Jfreegman/toxic/commit/1974fa23d21bedb672f1c0d77dfa85f73037f5c1|written]] by Plutooo in the experimental branch of ProjectTox on July 29, 2013. Following Plutooo's disappearance soon after his initial commit, Jfreegman took over leadership and continued Toxic's development. Although extremely buggy and lacking in basic features in its initial state, rapid development by the Tox community made it the first 'usable' Tox client, and it soon superseded [[nTox]] as the reference CLI client. Toxic was initially part of the toxcore repository, but was [[https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore/commit/c759967ad403a22b5baa729f9b6b395f9c766cd4|moved]] to its own github repository as a stand-alone project on August 23, 2013, and moved again to Jfreegman's account on October 15, 2015. Toxic was originally [[https://github.com/Jfreegman/toxic/commit/1974fa23d21bedb672f1c0d77dfa85f73037f5c1|written]] by Plutooo in the experimental branch of ProjectTox on July 29, 2013.
