there are people who prefer chatting besides doing other stuff (or not) - they tend to use IRC clients. while this isn't an issue at all, i thought it would be cool to have it in style of lazer chat including all functions (commands except /np) for PC and maybe even mobile too.

since i prefer osu! client over IRC to chat, keeping the whole client open bothers me as soon as i want to play other games. i know there's the web chat too but i don't know how to feel about it: you aren't really shown as online, design doesn't meet osu! standards imo, important functions like reporting are still missing etc.

if mobile IRC is ever planned: IOS disconnects you automatically once it got in background, maybe there's a workaround to not get fully disconnected (even though you are from IOS' side).

also, i would love to know if there are people who prefer IRC over the osu! client chat (and why).

IRC¹ is lightweight -- fewer functions, less visual fleur, small resource footprint. also, there's a great deal of apps from which you can choose the one that suits you both in terms of UX and extendability.²

don't think so -- there's a limited amount of use cases unrelated to IRC that allow background connections (alternatively, it could be "some other text chat" that is not IRC at all at the core).

¹ any text-only chat, really.
² self-insert: I've made one of them for myself, steel, which is poor in features, but contains only things I need and welcome (more to be implemented).
