Keybase Chat would make a solid choice as well. *I work for Keybase, but chose to work here because I love the mission / product.

My choice would be Keybase, or at least something that uses Keybase as its back-end in some way.

Just want to say that I adore Keybase. I think it needs a password manager like bitwarden/lastpass/1password, but a lot of the features are compelling to me. I really hope it gets widespread adoption because the app and the company deserve it, in my opinion.

Keybase chat doesn't have a server client available. It is nothing like IRC.
Actually there's a bot available https://github.com/keybase/bot-sshca in addition to the regular CLI API keybase has.
What does this have to do with keybase chat?
The link I posted is basically a headless server client, was that not what you asked for?
I love Keybase. I wish it was fully open source though. And that group chats weren't slow as sin.
Yeah, it has some usability concerns, not yet at the level of Slack for large group work or onboarding speed, but I've found it very good for smaller groups of people and the rest of the features they've built on it are very cool and useful (at least for me).
