There's a distinction between searching for info within a Slack community (Slack handles this well) and searching _from the outside_ for info that only lives within a Slack community. As more and more communities that used to live on public forums migrate to Discord or Slack, that knowledge is basically impossible to find from the outside (Google) if you're not already a member of the Discord or Slack instance. From what I understand, it's this latter use case that Linen is targeting.

"Slack handles this well" That's questionable… ':) — Though I get it now. And that's indeed a need! Reminds me of when we needed to setup IRC bouncers to not lose history. Thanks.
