I haven’t thought about it deeply, but on the surface I like the idea. I am kind of interested in taking it a step further and enabling a channel to be archived on a rolling basis to a topic automatically.
Yeah, I like the idea of having the summary followed by the transcript (maybe in [details/]) together.
Mapping chat message → post is very very expensive and can result in extremely noisy topics
I think one small improvement we can and should prioritize is making it so that quoting a chat quote retains attribution to the original author (as we do with posts). That’d allow chat transcripts to be in a single post, while still allowing conversations to flow more naturally from that point on in topics. I’ll try to get that on our list soon-ish.
