   Linen – Open-source Slack for communities▲292

    Linen – Make your Slack community Google-searchable▲177

    Hi HN! Kam here. I’m the founder of Linen.dev https://linen.dev, a website that makes your public Slack community Google searchable. Linen will sync your Slack threads and make it SEO friendly so your community can find Slack content that was previously hidden. Previously I worked on a popular open source project which had a sizable Slack community. Slack was great for engaging with community members and with early sales.
