Wade gave a memorable talk during our YC batch. When asked how he ran Zapier remotely, which was unusual at the time, he said something along the lines of "When I want to talk with the team, I open Slack. When I want to file a support ticket, I open Zendesk."

Ironically, we were the last in-person batch that was cut short by COVID, so his comments turned out to be quite helpful.

+1 on existing log viewers being particularly well suited for text over non-textual assets. My experience here is limited but I believe Grafana has a dynamic image plugin if you store a link to an asset in blob storage or Base64 encode it.

I've also heard of people storing those links in a database like Snowflake then creating displays on top using Tableau or Looker, to avoid having to build a web app from scratch.
