CLUSTER CLIENT-CHAT-IRC · 61 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2012-05-16
IRC and messaging clients
This cluster comprises chat client applications, predominantly IRC clients but also clients for Discord, Telegram, XMPP, and other messaging platforms. The dated entries span from 2006 to 2026, with a slow trickle through the 2010s and a modest increase in the 2024–2026 period. Traction leaders are reticulum-relay-chat and Kabutar, each with 1 star.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
