Description

For bulk export of documents, if AppFlowy markup is a subset of Markdown, then Markdown is the gold standard.

For databases, CSV files are standard, but if they can’t model relationships from AppFlowy, then SQLite would be the most common and widely compatible format.

Would be worth looking at how Logseq deals with table data and queries. Its storage medium is Markdown rather than a custom database and format, which means the “export” is already there at all times.

Preferably bulk exporting everythign in a format that is diff’able by git (like markdown or CSV) - so all local data could be exported and stored (or even synced) via a GitHub repo.

It could be zipped into a single file.

Hi Annie.

For me, it would be great to import bulk html files. If im not mistaken, this is the format of Google Keep when you do a Google Takeout. Since there is a huge base of Google Takeout users, it makes sense to give these users an option to migrate to an opensource, fully featured app like AppFlowy.

Thanks!
