I've really enjoyed Gitter as a better means of communications when I have questions that are small enough to not need their own issue, yet also not worth it to ask on SO or some other platform. It has been nice to be able to have a nice way to talk with other open-source collaborators or get quick clarification on a small repo-specific question. It's cool to see how it was put together. Thanks for open sourcing this.

The biggest problem I have with something like this is that unlike SO the answers aren't archived for others who may have the same issue. It would be nice if discussions like this on Gitter could be archived and searched the way mailing lists are.

  All public rooms are archived and searchable: https://gitter.im/gitterHQ/gitter/archives/all https://gitter.im/gitterHQ/gitter/archives/all https://gitter.im/gitterHQ/gitter/archives/2017/06/14 https://gitter.im/gitterHQ/gitter/archives/2017/06/14 I agree that chat isn't as digestible as SO, but it is definitely archived.

    Right, I meant more in a Q&A fashion with perpendicular discussion like with SA. But I'm happy to see there is an archive. I've had decade old Mozilla bug reports save me more than once.
