Description

At the moment a lot of the dependencies are outdated (Handlebars is distributed as 2.0, but the current version is 4.0.4).

Personally, I'm a fan of making the client it's own repository and adding it as a submodule to erming/shout.

Research direction
The issue discusses updating outdated client dependencies, specifically Handlebars (from 2.0 to 4.0.4). However, the repository 'erming/shout' is deprecated and recommends using 'thelounge' fork. A first timer should check the thelounge repository for similar issues or contribute there. The issue itself has no clear actionable steps beyond discussion, and the project is no longer maintained.
