Might want to try Riot. It uses a protocol called Matrix, which is the successor to IRC. What this means is that you're not tied to them. Also the web, desktop, and mobile clients are pretty sweet.
- mst 10y agoIt's more aimed to be a successor to XMPP/SMS - hence the focus on federation and mobile friendliness. Edit: Note this statement is based on my talking to people actually at matrix, on the dev team.
- kiallmacinnes 10y agoDoes Matrix really have the userbase in place to start calling it an IRC successor so definitively? It may be aiming for it, and I do hope we see an open chat protocol succeed over all the Slacks and HipChats, but calling it the successor right now seems a little disingenuous!
- yuvipanda 10y agoDon't see anything else around that fits that bill. They also have amazing IRC bridging - I have been using Matrix bridged into Freenode as my primary 'IRC Client' for almost a year now.

- kuschku 10y agoCalling Matrix the successor to IRC, when there's actually new IRC standards in development, is very misleading.
