IRC
A curated list of awesome IRC resources including clients, bouncers, bots, servers, and tools.
What is IRC?
Awesome IRC is a curated list of resources for the Internet Relay Chat protocol, a text-based communication system. It compiles clients, bouncers, servers, bots, frameworks, and guides to help users find tools for connecting to, managing, and extending IRC networks. The list addresses the need for a centralized, up-to-date directory in the fragmented IRC ecosystem.
IRC users, network operators, bot developers, and open-source enthusiasts looking for software, libraries, or documentation related to IRC. It's especially useful for those setting up personal or community chat infrastructure.
It saves time by aggregating high-quality, often open-source IRC tools in one place, with clear categorization and tags. Unlike generic searches, it provides vetted options and highlights self-hostable solutions, aligning with IRC's decentralized ethos.
