I can very much recommend this! Recently discovered it, and started gathering all my chats into Slack (you can of course do it in others). Especially getting Freenode and other IRC servers at the tip of my fingers in just one client, is a huge deal.
Of course, I could also just connect to everything through IRC (at least for Slack<->IRC), but the Slack client is a lot nicer on mobile than any IRC client I know of.

So how this works with federation? I don't see any open/common API.

It's "federation-as-a-service", basically.
A common use case is federation between two Slack teams (share a channel).
Another common use case is federation between a group in Skype and a channel on Slack.
Or IRC and Telegram, etc.
Making existing systems work together really well is priority one. API only makes sense once that's done.

Chrome complains about your TLS:
The certificate chain for this website contains at least one certificate that was signed using a deprecated signature algorithm based on SHA-1.
What's weird is that Qualys SSL Labs is giving you "A"s, so maybe they don't check for this condition?
What other option is there, really? The other option is no interoperability.
