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.)

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

Hacking on IRC Chatter

Useful links

Building

  • The usual Qt mantra
    • 'qmake'
    • 'make'

Dependencies

  • Qt >= 4.7.x
  • Qt Quick 1.1
  • qt-components (the MeeGo variant)
  • libcommuni
    • NOTE: because of Nokia Store packaging requirements, the necessary parts of the Communi library are embedded into the executable
    • NOTE: the author of Communi has also created his own IRC client app, which is not to be confused with IRC Chatter
  • libmeegotouch
    • NOTE: IRC Chatter only uses MTF for notifications. This is something that can be easily patched out. The app does not use MTF for any other purpose.
