I can understand why not IRC, but it looks like a lot of topics are technical. If you want to attract a technical crowd, it would be nice to see an IRC bridge.

  The topics are more technical at this time, because we first noted Chapp in venues like HN. (During closed testing, there were more design-related channels, as we first asked a few of my friends to try it--and most of them are designers.) That said, with time we figure the audience will shift to include groups with more varied interests. That's where we think this could become interesting. Perhaps with folks watching Game of Thrones and chatting on Chapp about the story as it unfolds. (Or the Stanley Cup playoffs, if that's your thing.) Of course, it will take time for the community to diversify. And with each day, and another few users, the tone of the community shifts a little. That said, it's kind of fun watching how it changes.
