03/07/2023, 9:49 AMThank you! I've been wanting to find a way to make the slack indexable by search engines. It would be a big boost for users and a big supplement to the documentation. I'm not familiar with Linen. Would the free tier have some way of saying essentially "this is just an archive, for live support go to pantsbuild.slack.com"?

03/07/2023, 9:51 AMBy the way, a kind member of our community recently arranged for Pants to be moved to the Premium tier. So history is not hidden anymore, and the entire back history has been restored. You can find every message going back to the first one in 1995!
