<h2>Overview:</h2>
<p>DiscordChatExporter-frontend (DCEF) is a web-based user interface that allows users to browse their Discord chat exports in a single interface reminiscent of the Discord platform itself. The frontend provides a range of features including the ability to browse multiple servers, channels, threads, and forum posts. Users can search messages within a server using autocomplete, and the frontend is optimized to handle large exports efficiently. Customizability is also a key feature, allowing users to change fonts and other settings. Additionally, DCEF offers a self-hosting option, enabling users to host the frontend on their own server and share it with friends.</p>
