"Not everyone can/will do it." It's a pain.

How does a web-based client with archiving work with a private IRC server
behind openvpn?

What if the archiver fails and you miss important messages? How do you know
the archiver hasn't failed?

Does it let you post images in the chat, where everyone (no matter their
client) can see them?

Does it integrate with other services that people use, like trello and
jira? (Can edit cards / bugs right in the chat)

I just want to work. I don't want to spend (waste, imo) time on rolling my
own chat technology when I can connect to a website and get on with my day.

Just some random thoughts I had. I probably said the same stuff last time
this came up.

Best wishes,
Greg
