IRC server & web client

These days it can be quite a challenge to get in touch with other people without having to download a privacy invading app or program, give them your personal details and hope the other person is also on that platform.

So I went back to one of the older forms of communication on the internet, IRC! Not only a IRC server but also a minimal web client that does not require a download or personal info.

IRC Web Client

A versatile web based messenger using IRC

100% static files. Host with your favourite web server or a CDN
For single networks, bouncer hosts, or a personal generic IRC client that remembers your networks
Works out of the box with a default IRC network – or use your own
Single or multiple IRC network connections
Multiple layouts for small areas or full page layouts
Light and dark modes
Desktop notifications
Extremely versatile via a single JSON config file at runtime
Themable and rich plugin support such as file uploading and video calling
Team mode for workplaces

Connection modes:

Directly to a websocket IRC server
Connect via the webircgateway websocket proxy for normal IRC servers
Stay connected with Kiw
iBNC

IRC Server

Ergo (formerly known as Oragono) is a modern IRC server written in Go. Its core design principles are:

Being simple to set up and use
Combining the features of an ircd, a services framework, and a bouncer (integrated account management, history storage, and bouncer functionality)
Bleeding-edge IRCv3 support, suitable for use as an IRCv3 reference implementation
High customizability via a rehashable (i.e., reloadable at runtime) YAML config

Ergo is a fork of the Ergonomadic IRC daemon <3
