Hey, thanks for checking this out! I wrote this because it's the app I've always wanted, and would love to hear your feedback.

I came here to rant about "yet another service that logs all its users conversations" and then it turns out this one is self-hosted and open-source. Great job!

Seemingly open-core.. The webapp is open source.. but unless i am mistaken, seems to push notifications through https://tapchat.heroku.com/.. and the android app is payware, without the source..

It also doesn't support secured networks that i can see (which also means no znc integration)..

Having said that.. it does seem pretty well polished...

Any chance for iPhone support? I am kind of tired of my weird znc + colloquy setup.

There's a mobile-ready web interface that's not quite finished, but if you'd like to try it just visit https://your.tapchat:8067/chat in your phone's browser.

One of the contributors to the znc project is working on an iPhone app, currently in private beta. Register your interest at: http://palaverapp.com/

What do you find lacking in your znc + colloquy? Mine works pretty well. Plus, no one else has push highlights...

I find znc rather finicky

Finally, IRC is now usable on a mobile device. Great work Eric.

You beat me to it, this has literally been sitting at the top of my "one of these days" list for a few weeks now. Looks great, I'll be trying it out tonight.

This costs money and I can’t really test it before I spend a substantial amount of money (for an app, common!). Any chance to get a trial version or something like that?

We had a pretty good app on webOs for IRC, wIRC. I always felt it was mobile IRC done right. Here's the project page:

http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:WIRC

It's open source too, code can be found here:

It helped me learn webOS plugins, which are native components written in C++ that set up a special interface for javascript-plugin communication. It's a great app.
