I send SMS with 'curl' commands using my twilio credentials ...
Can I do something similar with imessage ?

Not even through a third party like Twilio
Having to stop and pick up my phone to type with my thumb is just agonizing. And not everyone I deal with is on slack.
Obviously assuming linux is your main environment so a single Mac wouldn’t have additional use otherwise. If you did also run a Mac anyway having the proxy/forwarding to any machine you were working on would be super nice (similar to text forwarding to your desktop so you don’t need to get your phone all the time)
As for the irc client, use any.
It's clearly not meant to be something you'd use regularly. It looks like an excercise of "let me see if I can do this"
If you're arguing about practicality, then you've already missed the boat by a few decades if you're running on this ancient OS.
The UI elements look rather odd. What's the rationale for using a custom immediate-mode UI library instead of using the Mac's native forms and toolbox routines for them?
In addition to the github repository, I wrote an introduction blog post about it here: https://henlin.net/2022/02/26/Introducing-Messages-for-Macin.... I've also outlined the development workflow on to other posts at https://henlin.net/2021/12/03/a-simplified-guide-to-developm... and https://henlin.net/2022/02/26/Messages-for-Macintosh-Develop....
Let me know if you have any questions or decide to try it out on your Macintosh, I'd love to hear about it.
On a quick investigation I noticed you are reading the sqlite db... but it wasn't super clear how you send/receive messages?
Now you just need a cool icon to go with your app. You already have the box art spot on
