It'd be excellent if Export/Import has a standard format.
Especially if we see adoption on the Storage Buckets standard, sites will be able to partition up their storage into different concerns. Maybe there's some users data (xdg config[1]), some cache (xdg cache[1]), some app state ([1]), and each can be saved into a different bucket. Then a standard export/import standard would let folks save and load data easily? Maybe in interesting cross-site ways, where we import/export data? https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-...
I was super scared this article was going to glorify an impractical disconnected imo useless "simple." Very glad to see import/export handled; simple, but very much in users power to let connectivity happen, to spread their data, as connected apps have so powerfully let us do.
