App version

2.8.0

Where did you get the app from

F-Droid

Feature or improvement you want

Currently, we can export saved articles, which are then saved inside a text file with only links to those items.

But when we need them to import inside the app, there is no option.

Why should this be added?

Having saved articles imported with only links, that .txt is pretty much useless, as we can't humanly remember what was that item (especially in case of YT links).

So having the ability to import them back would be a godsend. Without it, exporting saved articles is useless anyway.

The export function is there if you want to get your data out of Feeder.

I hope to have the feature to import back the "exported saved articles" too.

As I am currently in the process of moving everything to a new mobile device, I'd definitively welcome such a feature. I have several saved articles.
