History

Pichat software was first published in 2002 by Mark Seuffert, it was heavily influenced by chat programs such as IRC, ICQ and by peer-to-peer technologies. A web interface was added in 2004 based on an earlier prototype from 1998. The chat is written in the C++ programming language. New chat functionality and plugins are now developed together with David Fehrman. Pichat is mainly used in Europe with visitors from around the world.
