@erion @jcsteh Actually there has been quite a bit of progress, Goguma (mobile IRC client) is probably the best representation of this.

You'd need a modern IRC server that has direct support for webpush. I believe Ergo is the only option at the moment.

Failing that the IRCv3 chathistory feature is the next best thing but this requires periodic poling.

And for older servers you'd have to use a bouncer. Soju is a good option for that since it supports webpush.

@zrzz @jcsteh Do you know if this support screen readers? It looks perfect at a cursory glance.

Ergo would be my first option as far as a server's concerned, it has some pretty amazing features out of the box.

@zrzz @emersion Huge thanks for taking the time to check, based on this, it seems quite promising, at least the author is aware of screen reader users which is always a plus.

I can't test it as I don't have an Android-based device myself, but this is a good start.

@erion @zrzz Jean Thomas has spent some time tweaking Goguma for screen readers indeed (he also maintains the iOS port)
