    Hi HN! Kam here. I’m the founder of Linen.dev https://linen.dev, a website that makes your public Slack community Google searchable.

    I started building a couple of years ago because I found no easy existing solution to build Slack bots that can be composed from/organized into plugins.

Also can read Slack canvases as markdown! MIT License
