Convos - Multiuser chat application

Convos is a multiuser chat application that runs in your web browser.

The supported chat protocol is currently IRC, but Convos can be extended to support other protocols as well.

See convos.by for more details.

The backend is powered by Mojolicious, while the frontend is held together by the progressive JavaScript framework Svelte.

Quick start guide
