I've tried to use this, but I'm on multiple servers with tons of channels, and it gets a bit unwieldy without tabs. I also can't get it to minimize to tray, and having to "keep it open" at all times is somewhat annoying. I'll stick with Quassel for now.
Really impressive work though, you should be proud!
I added this configuration to make it works more tab-like.
What channels are still active? I connected to freenode for the first time in years a few months ago and it was a ghost town. Would love to get back into some programming/tech communities on IRC.

A lot of users left freenode in 2021.
Many moved to Libera.chat instead. While others may have moved on from IRC altogether when they left freenode.
Freenode melted down a few years back, there was a lot of drama around what happened, but I don't think it's active anymore and if it is, it's probably not what you remember. The community splintered and moved to other hosts.
Come to rizon. Start with #chat and branch out from there. Lurk moar.
Agreed on the tabs. Not sure what I'm supposed to do when I have more than 1-2 channels I want to view.
tabs are the reason i abandoned my halloy experiment. I'm currently following the halloy issue.
to have it act a bit more tabishly, https://halloy.chat/configuration/actions.html#buffer can be set to "replace-pane"
