Ergo Chat – A modern IRC server written in Go

   A modern IRC server (daemon/ircd) written in Go.

   

   I've been running Ergo for the past year for my friends/family chat. I went this route because of the ease of hosting, very low resource requirements and a protocol and codebase that I feel I can understand and debug if needed.

   The v3 chathistory support and the always-on[1] multi-client[2] features paired with modern clients (like Goguma) go a long way at providing a modern chat environment. Most others on the server don't even know that they are using IRC.

   The built-in websocket support is another key feature for me since it lets me to provide a web client just by serving some static files (I use Gamja for this).

   I disagree. I run all comms for https://pico.sh through IRC on libera and people really struggle to onboard into IRC. People will pop-in ask a question, then leave because they arrive to a chat that is empty and didnt see any activity in 5mins and bounce.

   We tried to offer a bouncer instance for users and even that had a barrier to entry because it requires creating 2 accounts: one for libera and one for pico.

   I think about us switching to ergo every few months because I think the onboarding experience will be much nicer.

   Logging into a channel for the first time and see the chat log will make people a lot more motivated to stay.

   Hey, your project looks interesting, thanks for building and sharing it.

   One question: are you aware of Jami[1], f.k.a. Ring? If so, how does it compare to Snikket?

   I see that Snikket requires a server, whereas Jami is P2P. The benefit of a server is probably that messages can be stored centrally and not on each device. But I can see pros and cons of either approach.
