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 n…

Solving a problem that shouldn’t exist. Use other products like Confluence

1. Confluence is awful. 2. The reality is, people use slack right now and share an enormous amount of knowledge within channels.

Anything like this for Discord?

A few days ago I've used https://github.com/nthitz/discord-slack-import to import the slack channels to Discord. It's not perfect (doesn't use threads) but it's one of the better tools I've found. If somebody knows a more recent/feature rich tool, I'd love to hear it! rereading your comment: I guess you are looking for a way to export your discord history, not import your slack history into discord. sorry!

Heya, glad you found the tool useful, I made it just for my small friends Slack/Discord. Probably won't be making many updates, but I'm still curious what features you wish the tool had!

Is 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!

Having the source available under a license allowing me to locally inspect, build, and run it locally is a prerequisite for this to be interesting at all. Which would actually make it very interesting. For me, moreso than it actually working flawlessly.

> uploading all your messages to a random website might not be for everyone!

It should not be for anyone who either cares about their message content secrecy or who's uploading company chats where this is prohibited.
