Anything like this for Discord?

I've built a solution for this for Discord, it's called AnswerOverflow! ( https://www.answeroverflow.com/ ) Doing this indexing work is a bit different on Discord as their privacy policy doesn't let you publicly share users messages without them consenting first - so this project has got a lot built out for driving user consent to allow for those messages to be displayed publicly. For users who haven't explicitly sai…

Wow this looks great - thanks for sharing.

what is the difference to http://linen.dev/ ?

Hi I'm the author of Linen.dev. I can elaborate a bit on this. There are a ton of free tools that offer some form or another of this service. About half of the communities that are using Linen have built something similar themselves.

We offer a bunch of little things that you might not build but are very helpful:

* We support real time message sync in addition to historic uploads

* We support sitemaps for large communities since our largest community has over 50k members and almost a million messages and it makes it easier for google to find the conversations

* We support emoji and image attachments

* We offer anonymization for your community members so it hides display name as well as profile pictures.

We charge a higher price for premium account because we are 2 full time engineers working on this and want to hit profitability so we can be around for the long run. We are still experimenting with the pricing model so if pricing is an issue let me know.

Great to see something that's turnkey here! For those who need "unlimited power" to build structured data from Slack, I'm a big fan of Skyvia's Slack connector https://docs.skyvia.com/connectors/cloud-sources/slack_conne... which can maintain a synchronized copy of a Slack workspace in any SQL database you give it write access to. It's not cheap, but works quite well, and then your content can be sliced however you need it to be, and insights built into your internal tools.

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…

Have you been approved for the privileged message content intent? Or you just relying on staying < 100 servers?

I haven't requested privileged message content intent yet as you need to be in at least 75 servers to do that but I don't think this project will have any trouble getting it - the plan is to grow past 100 servers, at the moment I'm working on reaching out to people to grow it more.

It's already gone through some review at Discord as the bot got incorrectly quarantined when it was in its first server, so I had to explain what it was and how it worked in my support ticket. They didn't raise any concerns and unquarantined it
