Downloadable detailed data

[didoesdigital]

Overview

People want to see more detailed data. Better data can improve feedback loops for more effective and efficient practice.

Problem

Local storage space is limited.

Approaches

One option is: "creating a plover plugin, that expects for session data to be manually loaded in after a typey-type session (download json, load into local plugin), that persists on the local machine over time and allows offline practice"

During a session, we could record detailed data in the app (not local storage) and offer a button somewhere (progress page?) to download the detailed progress data to use elsewhere. This gives users responsibility and ownership of their long-term progress data.

Considerations:

• Keep it flexible so people can use it in whatever Plover plugins or programs they want to whatever end.
• An accidental page refresh or closed tab will lose current session data. Maybe we could store latest/previous session in local storage and whenever Typey Type hits local storage limits, that's the first piece of local storage data to dump.
• Version the data format so we can make changes over time, such as adding additional fields of interest (examples below)
