the hot new app of the moment, data portability, birdsite mention 

hearing about the new social media app (emphasis on app, no website), and thinking "wow, that has to be an absolute pain to get your data out of"

because i'm incorporating more of what i post into my notes, i'm increasingly valuing trivially being able to programmatically capture it

both birdsite and here make that easy with a mixture of RSS, full archive backups, or API queries (at least until elon decides to pull another plug)

the hot new app of the moment, data portability, other apps 

perhaps hive has some robust export implementation, i don't know, i'm not using it

cohost feels like it has basically no method other than screen scraping or i guess emailing their compliance team; there are fantastic things there that i hope can be archived properly

it feels so bad copying and pasting out of discord that i'm tending to resort to screenshots if i want something for long term knowledge, even with wanting searchability

@Dex cohost is planning to release an API (and they encourage people to play around with the existing one)

@noiob Ah fair enough, had not seen the documentation on that
