Data Portability and Long-Term Accessibility
Explain the problem as you see it
The app lacks robust data portability features, making it difficult to ensure long-term access to accumulated knowledge. Current export options are limited to manual Markdown exports or a single JSON file, which don't provide an easily accessible or future-proof solution.
Why is this a problem for you?
- Data lock-in: Risk of losing access to years of knowledge if service becomes unavailable.
- Time-consuming exports: Manual exports are impractical for maintaining an up-to-date archive.
- Limited portability: Current formats don't preserve all metadata and relationships.
- Future accessibility concerns: Difficulty in retrieving specific old information.
- Lack of data ownership: Users don't have full control over their data.
- Hindered workflow evolution: Difficulty in transferring data to new systems as work methods change.
- Compliance issues: Challenges in meeting data retention and backup requirements.
