Chat

Every task, project and invoice has a chat, and there are direct messages between people. Chats are grouped into rooms so that a client sees the conversation meant for them and internal discussion stays internal.

A chat drawer collects everything in one place, and each person chooses whether it shows every conversation they can see or only the ones they are part of.

A message typed and not sent stays in that conversation rather than in the window it was typed in. Switch tab, close the drawer or pick up a phone and it is still there, and a message begun on one device can be finished on another. Files attached to it wait with it, so a photo taken on a phone can be sent with a message written at a desk. A draft is private until it is sent: nobody else in the chat can see one, and an unsent message nobody has touched for three months is cleared away.
