IRC Driven – modern IRC indexing site and search engine

There's also http://irccloud.com, it's paid and includes a bouncer and mobile apps but I've switched to that from my self-hosted ZNC + Textual (https://www.codeux.com/textual/) setup and it's very worth the money. Just having push notifications on mobile and full backlog everywhere makes this a way better experience.

It got me back on using IRC every day after not using it regularly for years any more. Just following along in channels like #postgresql / #beets / #dokku on Libera I already learned a few new things.

I don't think it's quite accurate to call it a bouncer; there's no way to connect to IRCCloud's bouncer with your own client. They do provide a bouncer-like managed service though, and a pretty nice one at that. Long time user as well.

That's not correct, they are offering a bouncer if you are a paid customer: https://blog.irccloud.com/bouncer/

Ah, that's nice! I guess I don't keep up with their news.
