HexChat's GTK3 Successor: ZoiteChat

Saddened by the abandonment of HexChat by upstream? Say no more: ZoiteChat to the rescue.

It looks and feels the same as HexChat did, except it's ported from GTK2 to GTK3.

You can download the source code or get it for your platform (on GNU/Linux, AppImage and Flatpak binaries are the official builds) here.

github is a popular forge, which is good for discovery and visibility of a project.

Re: HexChat's GTK3 Successor: ZoiteChat

i have all my repos in github, been mirroring to gitlab, codeberg and more recently the devuan gitea instance, i'm not getting any repo off github cuz it does help visibility but i do have to update all my readme files with links to the mirrors.

Everyone makes their own choice about what is important.
I jumped off github when I learnt they sold out to Microsoft.

This does look exciting! Have grabbed the Appimage and sofar it is working well. Looks like my Hexchat custom theme config will work with this as well. Good find!
