view-slack-js

A client app that can read a local exported slack archive

Usage details

Currently only supports an archive that has been extracted into ~/Documents/SlackExported/

Visualization and features are still very limited

Future

• Support Search
• Nicer html styling
• Visualization of more of the slack data
• View of attached file support

Implementation Details?

The main entry point is bootstrapper.js, which first registers Babel then includes 'main.js'. This is necessary to allow main.js to make use of Babel's features.

The renderer entry point index.html does basically the same, but loads the index.js file, which renders the component/root.jsx component into the root element.
