  • The Lounge

    💬 ‎ Modern, responsive, cross-platform, self-hosted web IRC client

    • If you're just looking for text, you can set up an IRC server and then use something like The Lounge.

  • Prosody IM

    IMPORTANT: due to a drive failure, as of 13-Mar-2021, the Mercurial repository had to be re-mirrored, which changed every commit SHA. The old SHAs and trees are backed up in the vault branches. Please migrate to the new branches as soon as you can.

    • Or you could do XMPP and install something like prosody. The clients for XMPP are a little more hit-or-miss, unfortunately. I'd recommend either Conversations or blabber.im for Android, Snikket or Monal for iPhones, and honestly I'm not sure about a web-based client.

  • SurveyJS
