Linen is an open-source, self-hostable chat platform that syncs public Slack and Discord threads into a Google-searchable, SEO-friendly website. It lets communities retain and surface their chat knowledge without requiring members to log in.

Use cases

  • archive discord threads to a public website
  • reduce repeat questions in my community chat
  • host a lightweight slack alternative for my community
  • publish community conversations for seo
  • link chat conversations in github issues without login

When to choose

  • you run a public Slack or Discord community and want its knowledge discoverable via search engines
  • you want to reduce repeated support questions by making past threads searchable
  • you need a lightweight, self-hostable chat platform with SEO-friendly archives

When to avoid

  • you need private or end-to-end-encrypted team chat
