Parley: Federated, decentralised chat that speaks plain IRC

Parley is a federated, decentralized chat system that allows users to communicate with each other in real-time, similar to IRC. It's designed to be highly customizable and extensible, with a focus on security and user control. Parley uses a peer-to-peer architecture, which means that users can connect directly to each other without relying on a central server. This allows for greater control over data and reduces the risk of censorship or surveillance. The project is currently hosted on Git and invites contributions from the community.
