+title: "Web Client for IRC"
+date: "2025-01-28"
+summary: "Making it easier to connect to our IRC network"
+---
+
+We understand that IRC can be an intimidating platform for non-technical users, as well as for users who have not set up an IRC client in the past.
+
+To help alleviate this, we are happy to announce that we now offer a simple web-based client~! Visit our IRC network address at https://irc.nhcarrigan.com in your favourite web browser and you'll be able to connect to our IRC channels.
+
+## Matrix Federation
+
+We've also enabled federation for our Matrix server! I have to admit, we aren't entirely sure how this bit works, but you *should* be able to join `#home:matrix.nhcarrigan.com` from any Matrix account (instead of having to sign up through our homeserver)?
+
+## Custom Emotes
+
+And just for a little bit of fun, we've added custom emotes to all of our platforms. Enjoy them, and feel free to let us know if there are more emotes you'd like!
