In plain words

Convos is an open-source web-based IRC client built with Mojo and Redis that keeps users connected to IRC channels through their browser on desktop and mobile devices. It runs persistently on home servers, cloud services, or Docker containers, eliminating the need for traditional IRC client software. The application is free to download and install, with a demo available for testing. Users can access IRC conversations anytime from any browser without maintaining a constant local connection.
