As the web app is local only and only saves data to the current browser/device, it would be convenient to have an export/import functionality for data.

As far as I know, Dexie (the library used to interface with IndexedDB) has another library that enables an export/import feature using file-blobs.

Either this or something else like a simple JSON export of the channel list could be used, which should be sufficient.

To Do:

  • Add an export/import feature to easily move data between devices/sessions

it'd be very nice if you could import subs from the OPML export that youtube itself can do; feels like a good motivator for folks migrating

@colons oh whoops, now it'd be fortunate if I had kept my Google account for that. Is there an example export somewhere that I could use to look into that format?

i'd be running it from a burner account if i were to share one for u, and im not in a position to do that rn, but it's a p standard opml sub list; i've yet to find a feed reader that won't accept it

(i'll run one off when i get the chance)

Okay, I figured I have a burner one as well, the format is relatively simple.

<opml version="1.1">
    <body>
        <outline text="YouTube Subscriptions" title="YouTube Subscriptions">
            <outline text="Binging with Babish" title="Binging with Babish" type="rss" xmlUrl="https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCJHA_jMfCvEnv-3kRjTCQXw" />
            <outline text="Sturmwaffel" title="Sturmwaffel" type="rss" xmlUrl="https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCtmpz7ZiNbRQPdvz607X_gA" />
        </outline>
    </body>
</opml>

I could simply parse it with xml2js and pull out every outline, then grabbing the channel ID for the local database.
