matix has a number of clinets 
https://matrix.org/clients/ including what looks like two web based ones
https://element.io/get-started and https://fluffychat.im/
not sure how well they work in practic it kind of sound like a matix bridge and
a hosted version fo say https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/element whic is apache 2 liscents
woudl sovle that use case since ironci could say go to webchat.o.o and connect to the ironci channel
or soemthing like that kindo fo like how https://webchat.freenode.net/ works as web interface to irc.

if you click the try now button on https://matrix.org/ it send you to https://element.io/get-started where you can 
open in bowser or down lond the moble or desktop aps so it looks liek its endorced by matix as how new user can get started quickly.

you could proably even user there hsoted version at https://app.element.io/?pk_vid=162154222536360a#/welcome

matrix have bridge to freenod and oftc already

not really sure about zulip but there is a brdige bot https://matrix.org/docs/projects/bridge/matrix-zulip-bridgebot
