Topic: Zulip data liberation

I'm a believer in data liberation. Generally, I don't want to put my content into any system that doesn't let me get it out. Thankfully, Zulip lets us get our data out.

I just set up an archive of #boston at https://bostonopen.dev/zulip-archive/

It's hosted on GitHub Pages so the data is also here: https://github.com/bostonopen/zulip-archive . See the workflow for how it works. I pretty much just followed the instructions at https://github.com/zulip/zulip-archive

That's pretty cool

I'm glad you approve. :smile:

I did have to change one security-related thing. @Sooraj Sathyanarayanan might yell at me. :sweat_smile:
