This 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 us…

Yeah SaveSlack creates one markdown fine per channel under the hood so its quite easy to clean things up and edit them but does take a bit of manual work

Hey, I was just looking into kbclip the other day, that looks really solid. It works within the native Slack app, which is a nicer experience than trying to replicate data into an external wiki in my case.

what 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.

yea its fully static and also offers a paid plan with CNAME and so on. It works fairly well for me but there is still room for improvement. Was only a matter of time until some competition appeared, do you already have an idea how your paid plan will look like? Another key differentiator could be a selfhosting option as mentioned above. will definitely follow this projects progress

I would definitely offer a lower price for custom domain -- 99/month seems excessive, but no I haven't thought too much about pricing yet - would love to hear your thoughts on what you would be happy to pay for what features!

kbclip was my immediate thought too! It's such a cool tool, everyone should check it out.
