The barrier to entry is a feature, not a bug. I think, however, that IRC will remain in some ways as a small haven from eternal September (haha, yeah, I know). If you can get the on boarding flow to invite -> download -> log in -> start chatting with the people you want to chat with, you could crush slack (assuming you had the marketing budget to compete with theirs). I think one might actually be able to build a business by building a Slack that runs on top of IRC, and releasing client apps that actually significantly reduce the flexibility that a standard IRC client gives you. Search history? File sharing? No need to remember anything about dcc/xdcc, no need to manage servers running bots, no need to manage anything, really it's all taken care of by the nerds that run the service. Download > Login with google, start chatting with the person who invited you. There is no such barrier for the current set of chat apps. "Oh, you're on the wrong network - it's EFNet, not Freenode". "I'm in #this-channel-you-told-me-about, but no one else is in here, wtf?". There is without a doubt a barrier to entry to IRC that actually requires a bit of understanding of how the protocol works.

but there's not a whole lot of movement on it. IRCCloud, which is also listed under our web clients section, is a hosted client running on IRCCloud’s servers, with web, iOS, and Android apps available to access the service.
