Export/Import Saves

Open jawad-kp opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

An option to export or import tabs/saves from a file. Apart from the ability to back-up settings when we switch machines, it would also let you share your saves with people.

Hey @jawad-kp , this looks similar to a request by @AzDecker mentioned here which in turn could be solved by https://github.com/allen505/save-for-later/issues/3. Would it solve your use case too?

Hi @davidp88. The reason I mentioned #3 is because we plan to move the storage from local to sync and that will allow your saves to be in Sync across all your devices (via your browser's account) But yes, if folks do not sign in to their accounts in browsers, then exporting would be useful for them

That solves a part of it. You may also want to cover people switching browsers. But I get that it's not a gigantic use case.

Yeah, that's a valid use case, but not a priority. So, I'll keep this issue open
