Re: Show HN: SaveSlack – create searchable knowledgebase from your Slack community
#2Hey HN, got the idea to build this a few days ago when someone mentioned that they were looking to migrate their technical community away from Slack due to the new 3-month free-tier limit for messages.
It's pretty rough around the edges still, but if it's something you might find useful, let me know and I'll keep working on it.

#6Is it possible to self-host?
Yes, you will get a link to a .zip file of the entire website after uploading too so you can host it yourself. I'll add an option to self-host the tool itself too if it's something people want as I know uploading all your messages to a random website might not be for everyone!

#7what is the difference to http://linen.dev/ ?
oh that looks great! I didn't find it when I was looking for Slack export tools, but looks a bit more polished. Not sure if it's fully static though? Seems a bit slower to me, so that might be one key difference.

#10This is neat, but it seems a bit more like just a searchable index and not so much like an actual structured "knowledgebase".
https://kbclip.com/ is something we've been using as you don't have to deal with the slog of searching through all the inane conversations to find what you're looking for (and it's a lot more structured). That being said, you do have recognize that you want to save something up front.
Maybe use both?
