Hermes Agent already has a solid adapter framework in gateway/platforms/ (see ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md).
Proposal
Implement the missing high-value channels:
- IRC (
#1 priority) — widely used in tech communities, simple protocol
- Google Chat — many organizations use Google Workspace
- LINE — popular in Taiwan, Southeast Asia
- Nostr — decentralized, privacy-focused
- Twitch — streamer community
