One of the most time consuming recurring parts of my job is turning ephemeral discussions in a chat app into a searchable artifact. I occasionally push to have the discussion directly in the long term place (gh discussion, or various wiki products that don't require you to use git), but the chat app doesn't fully go away since it gives you the chance to get input from bystanders since a chat tends to be more browsable than the longterm places. The starboard/bookmarking workflow is quite nice as long as what you need to save is in 1 message. Things break down a bit when there are threads, I wish I could either write a query to keep all the messages that fulfill a criteria (daterange, blocklist/permitlist keyword or people) that schleps all the raw material into a raw textfile of some kind (MD or JSON) so that a motivated individual can organize the discourse into something tidier (either dendron or a tool with a spatial component) RE: the airtable - that's awesome! Slightly curious about the decision to host the FAQ in airtable vs as part of Dendron itself.
