Hello 😄  
I’m new to this community. Just yesterday I discovered about IRC feature for twitch channel chat.  
I’m writing a bot for twitch chat, and I published it in GitHub. It’s written in basic PHP.  
Here’s the link to the repo: [https://github.com/RickyB98/TwitchBot](https://github.com/RickyB98/TwitchBot)  
I wrote a sample feature that implements the command “!usercount” to show in the channel the number of users currently connected. But that was just a test to see how things worked in IRC.  
If anyone wants to contribute, please let me know in this topic or send me a private message!  
Thanks in advance,  
RickyB98 (Riccardo Bello)
