The Streamlit Mattermost Channel Post Exporter

The MM.C.P.E. is a little program that connects to your mattermost database directly. It reads the channels and presents them as a dropdown box. Selecting a channel allows you to export all messages in that channel together with the name of the poster. Exports can also be downloaded in CSV format.
