Convos is a persistent, multiuser, browser-based IRC client built using Mojolicious (backend) and Svelte (frontend). It keeps users continuously connected (even when browsers are closed), supports video chat, theming, inline media, and allows self-hosting on personal servers, cloud, or Docker. The supported chat protocol is currently IRC, but Convos can be extended to support other protocols as well. Backend powered by Mojolicious, frontend using Svelte framework. Built-in video chat support for one-on-one or group conversations. Persistent IRC connection and message history even when browsers disconnect (“always online”).
