## What it is
A curated list of Internet Relay Chat (IRC) resources, including clients, bouncers, daemons, bots, frameworks, and guides. It serves as a reference directory for tools and documentation related to the IRC protocol.

## Use cases
- find an irc client for my platform
- discover irc bots and daemons
- learn about the irc protocol
- find self-hosted irc bouncers
- explore irc frameworks and bridges
- find guides and articles about irc

## When to choose
- you want a curated starting point for exploring the IRC ecosystem
- you need to compare clients, bouncers, or server software
- you are looking for IRC documentation, guides, and protocol references

## When to avoid
- you need a working IRC client or server itself rather than a list of links
- you need actively maintained software with support guarantees - the list only links to third-party projects

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools
- domain: messaging-platforms, awesome-lists, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: irc, awesome-list, curated-resources, chat, protocol
