Slack Is Buying HipChat from Atlassian
BNCs provide a semblance of persistence. But the real problem with IRC is smartphone persistence, I think irccloud is the only service that solves this. But alas, it isn't free.
So can this be solved for free? Is it even a good idea to solve it?

thelounge is an web based IRC client with persistence like irccloud, except that thelounge is open source and self-hosted.

A web-based client is not going to provide adequate persistence on a smartphone.

Lounge works fine on a smartphone because the actual IRC connection would be handled by a server where you host it, not your own phone.

Do you get notifications when you are mentioned on your phone though?
