1 score and a little over 2 years ago, IRC was created by the great and honorable Jarkko Oikarinen. It's had its ups and downs, from the era of net splits to the era of cancel culture. However, we're proud to announce that we've completely drained obliterated the swamp removing the shackles on progress, and now we're sailing blue seas. YaRR!

The freenode digital autonomous zone is proud to announce IRC.com by freenode. In addition to our FOSS and free IRC bouncer service that keeps you connected 24/7, we now provide Android and iOS applications that connect to our freenode bouncer, enabling push notifications, avatars and a whole other suite of IRCv3 capabilities!

Head on over to the Android Play store or the iOS App store and download, install and login! Share it with your friends as IRC and FOSS are no longer walled gardens - freedom is for everyone with no phone number required!

For those of you that know what an API is and don't think it's a typo for a fruity company, there's webhooks built in so you can immediately integrate freenode and IRC.com into your development and org processes.
