# chat.sr.ht
chat.sr.ht provides real-time chat services to sourcehut users based on the
Internet Relay Chat ([IRC][0]) protocol. In technical terms, chat.sr.ht
essentially provides a hosted IRC bouncer for paid users, and a web gateway for
non-paying or anonymous users.
**NOTICE**: chat.sr.ht is currently in a closed beta. Reach out to emersion on
libera.chat for details.
SourceHut does not operate an IRC network. We recommend [Libera Chat][1], an
independently operated, third-party network, which chat.sr.ht is configured to
use by default. Please review the Libera Chat [Network policies][2] for details
on appropriate network usage.

## chat.sr.ht documentation
To start using chat.sr.ht, simply visit [chat.sr.ht](https://chat.sr.ht) in your
web browser and log in with your SourceHut credentials. Read the instructions
on-screen to get started.
We have a few additional guides for different audiences:
- [Quick-start for experienced IRC users](/chat.sr.ht/quickstart.md)
- [Using the IRC bouncer](/chat.sr.ht/bouncer-usage.md)
- [Setting up an IRC channel for your project](#TODO)
- [Writing an IRC bot](#TODO)
- [Information for network operators](#TODO)
## chat.sr.ht software
chat.sr.ht is based on the [soju][3] IRC bouncer and the [gamja][4] webchat
client. Our downstream patches, if any, are kept in the "srht" branch of each.
