irc-slack
An IRC server that lets you connect to your Slack teams with your IRC client, serving as a replacement for Slack's discontinued IRC gateway.
What is irc-slack?
irc-slack is an IRC-to-Slack gateway that acts as an IRC server, allowing users to connect to Slack workspaces using any IRC client. It solves the problem of Slack discontinuing its official IRC gateway by providing a self-hosted alternative that bridges the modern Slack chat platform with traditional IRC interfaces.
Users who prefer IRC clients for chatting but need to access Slack workspaces, particularly those affected by Slack's discontinuation of its official IRC gateway.
Developers choose irc-slack because it's a lightweight, self-hosted solution that maintains IRC workflow compatibility with Slack, offers multiple authentication methods, and is actively developed based on community feedback.
