[edit] IRC Chatter

IRC Chatter is a lightweight, touch-friendly IRC client aimed at touchscreen devices. IRC Chatter is based on Qt, QML, and its backend uses libcommuni, a Qt-based IRC client library.

IRC Chatter is free and open source software licensed under the terms of GPLv2+. (Some parts are licensed under LGPL.)

[edit] Introduction

IRC Chatter was born from the necessity to have an awesome IRC app on MeeGo. The platform didn't support previous software technologies like GTK+ or QWidgets, so it was necessary to create one in QML. This was the first IRC client for the platform and has gone a long way since then: now it's the official IRC client of Nemo Mobile, and enjoys popularity in the community.

The author of the app is Timur Kristóf (aka. Venemo)

Contributors are:

  • Hiemanshu Sharma (aka. hiemanshu)
  • László Papp (aka. djszapi)
  • Johannes Siipola (aka. joppu) created the icon
