So is this a competitor to HipChat and Campfire? Any additional things that it does differently?

  It uses IRC instead of a proprietary client and protocol.

    HipChat supports XMPP/Jabber: https://www.hipchat.com/help/category/xmpp https://www.hipchat.com/help/category/xmpp

  It is based on IRC, so you can seamlessly use Adium, etc. to use it, in addition to the web client.

    In some ways that feels limiting. Hipchat can embed images, videos, and files. Are these things possible over IRC now?
  • wahnfrieden 15y ago
    That's not a distinguishing feature (HipChat works in Adium too)

      It is, because there are a number of popular IRC clients that don't support XMPP.

  Don't forget IRC Cloud (https://irccloud.com/ https://irccloud.com/), and Talker (http://talkerapp.com/ http://talkerapp.com/).
