## What it is
A Python CLI tool that parses Slack export archives (zip or directory of JSON files) and presents them in a browsable web interface built with Flask. It can run locally, be served on a headless server for a team, or generate static HTML for deployment.

## Use cases
- view slack export archive without digging through json files
- browse old slack messages after hitting free plan message limit
- share slack team export with teammates via a web interface
- convert slack export to static html site
- serve slack export archive on a headless server

## When to choose
- you have a Slack export archive and want a readable, scrollable interface instead of raw JSON
- your team needs shared access to an export on a small server
- you want to publish a Slack export as a static website

## When to avoid
- you need live Slack integration or syncing rather than viewing an existing export
- you need search or advanced analytics over the archive
- you want a GUI desktop application rather than a CLI-launched web app
