grappa

Modern IRC โ€” always-on, usable from a phone.
Without making it not-IRC.

Try it now โ†’ Why I'm doing this โ†’

Log in with a nick and you're in. A password is only for registered users.

One bouncer, three ways in

grappa

An always-on IRC bouncer with a REST API. It stays connected so you don't have to.

cicchetto

A PWA that looks like irssi and speaks only REST. Install it on your home screen.

shottino

A terminal client (ncurses, C) over the same REST + WebSocket surface. IRC back in a terminal.

The bouncer does the real work: it stays on IRC for you whether the app is open or not. Close the tab, come back later โ€” you're still on, scrollback and all. None of the clients parse a line of IRC; the protocol stays on the server. Running live on the Azzurra network. Pre-alpha, moving fast.
