As I chat with one of the founders, If I had to describe the service I would write something like:

"kwak.io: a discussion-based (channels), real-time (chat) platform (server)"

which forme it sounds like: server + chat + channels === 'IRC'

Nowdays we have plenty of modern alternatives to good-old IRC: Slack, Gitter, Hipchat. So I asked where does kwak.io fits in?

For me it's a fun but unclear experiment. According to their manifesto (https://medium.com/@kwak.io/kwak-s-manifesto-14c69104e70) I get the "IRC communication style" part, but I'm not totally clear how will they achieve the "mixed with modern social features" part.
