[Feature Request] Watched Thread Syncing
Would love to see a feature to be able to sync watched threads (and posts marked as (You) ) between browsers / computers somehow.
Would make it a lot easier for consistency, missing posts, and overall a excellent multi-device user experience imo.
Not quite sure tbh. I can't see needing even a lot of space even for a lot of users?
Something even as basic as just a code based thing where you generate a code, then enter the same code on the other device and it just reads and syncs. Similar to how DuckDuckGo works to import settings. You can enter a phrase, then click export and it exports to a cloud then on the other device you click enter that phrase and it syncs. I'd assume 95% of it is just text files, so unless there's millions of users using the feature, I can't see it even exceeding maybe 3 terabytes. I mean 1terabyte seems plentiful quite honestly.
Idk if it's as easy as I'm saying it tbh, I'm not too familiar with how this works and there may be someone else who can give more proper answers and suggestions as I may be really wrong. So please don't quote me, I'm only giving suggestion lol.
This is pretty vital for me, as I use my laptop and desktop interchangeably, often switching between the two multiple times a day.
I think a decent solution would be exporting the settings file and uploading it to a specified cloud folder or self-hosted server at set intervals. Not sure how simple this would be to implement, since I've never dealt with cloud services' APIs, but probably not too difficult if half of the apps on my phone do it.
dont mean to necro but maybe you could make the user provide the service. gdrive would be the first choice, but you could also implement webdav that could work with seafile/nextcloud for selfhosted servers AND also works with any cloud provider that support the webdav protocol https://kbase.io/webdav-urls-for-cloud-storage-services/
similar to how floccus works

Maybe my original suggestion was not clear, but this was the entire idea. The user would be able to host the server, it would be entirely self-hosted. The clients would then be able to conmect to them. People can choose to host public servers if they wish. A shell script that can be ran in a container, and just loaded onto any server. As long as the clients can reach it, they would all sync.
So similar to Firefox Sync.
