A chat app built on IRC.
It adds voice and video calls, reactions, file sharing, and saved history to a normal IRCv3 server.
Inanna is mostly just IRC. The server is a fork of ergo, so anything that speaks IRCv3 — the Inanna client, Halloy, HexChat — can connect and chat normally. The extra features use existing IRCv3 extensions where there are any, so reactions and the like still work when the other person is on a different client.
WebRTC voice and video in a channel, plus screen sharing.
Emoji reactions on messages. They use the standard IRCv3 tag, so other clients that support it can see them too.
Drop a file in to share it. Links you paste get a preview card.
You stay on after closing the app, so you don't miss anything. Server history plus a local copy for scrollback.
Register a nickname, sign in with SASL, all over TLS.
No custom protocol. Use a different IRCv3 client if you prefer, or run your own server at
<name>.inanna.chat.
