Congratulations, Nic, on what is likely the world's first Emacs-hosted startup! For those who don't know, teamchat is implemented in Emacs Lisp using Nic's elnode (async web server) and shoesoff (IRC bouncer) libraries, among others.

I built something like this (a long time ago) for my own purposes. So did a startup we're working with!

That says there might be a need for it, but on the downside it's really simple to build, so competition can spring up very quickly.

Love the idea! About time someone did this. What's the tech stack like?

It's all emacslisp. Including the webserver (it's elnode). So there is an irc bouncer written in elisp tightly integrated with the elnode webapp. The bouncer uses a modified rcirc (built into emacs) to connect to the irc servers.

The robot framework is also written in emacslisp.

The irc servers are ngircd and the webserver is nginx.
