I'm planning on setting this up for myself later today but a few questions before I do that:

- Will this stay connected to my account and the history will be there if I close the tab / browser / computer in the meantime?

- Is it possible to replace certain strings with images? This is not at all an important feature but just something I got used over the years. (Example: :string: replaced with image.png and displayed inline. That's possible with Adium but I'd really like to replace Adium)

Thanks!



On the homepage they mention they use Message Carbons, so your history should be retained, yes:

  Using Message Carbons (XEP-0280) all of your active conversations will be synced to your Kaiwa client.
Don't know about the second question as I haven't looked at the source, but it doesn't seem all too hard to implement even if its not there.


I don't think that applies. Unless I misunderstood the GP.

I understood the question as "will I be able to receive messages while the tab isn't open" (offline messages) and "will I be able to read my history on a different device later on" (MAM). Carbons serve a different purpose and sync connected clients (i.e. you chat on your desktop, but your phone receives the same messages as a carbon copy to stay in sync).
