We had a pretty good app on webOs for IRC, wIRC. I always felt it was mobile IRC done right. Here's the project page:

http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:WIRC

It's open source too, code can be found here:

https://github.com/webos-internals/wIRC

It helped me learn webOS plugins, which are native components written in C++ that set up a special interface for javascript-plugin communication. It's a great app.

I came here to rant about "yet another service that logs all its users conversations" and then it turns out this one is self-hosted and open-source. Great job!

Seemingly open-core.. The webapp is open source.. but unless i am mistaken, seems to push notifications through https://tapchat.heroku.com/.. and the android app is payware, without the source..

It also doesn't support secured networks that i can see (which also means no znc integration)..

Having said that.. it does seem pretty well polished...
