I switched from IRC to matrix in 2018 specifically because I found mobile difficult.

I used the suggestion in your linked document by running irssi in a tmux session on a VPS I paid for, then using a bridge to an app on my phone. I found the experience to be cumbersome even for someone like myself (and even then irssi required reboots or else it would lose performance over time).

I wanted to use IRC for a family chat, but I couldn't possibly convince my friends and family to go through the same client setup as I did.

In my opinion there are use cases that either IRC or Matrix would be preferred over the other (not to mention other self hosted communication software).

Pretty sure we did this in 2023 and 2022 as well

I haven't gotten it to work for me yet, but have you taken a look at pico-project-generator? It has a --cpp flag in there to supposedly generate c++ code.
