[Feature request]: export/import settings to allow easy reinstallation (feddit.nl)

There aren't that many settings as of now, but every time I reinstall the app, I need to manually correct the settings to my preference. Would it be possible to export/import those settings in a file?

Could be that it's more work to import/export now (consider the limited number of settings) than that it's helpful though. But that might very well change in the future.

There’s been some updates that have required a reinstall, like getting the latest icon in use.

This has been one of the only annoying things about Voyager for me. Recently decided to delete and reinstall to rename to Voyager and switch the URL over to the new one, as an example. Once again having to reconfigure and setup all my accounts.

I’m hoping this becomes an official app at some point with enhanced features with a lifetime subscription option for early adopters.

This app is very close to Apollo and it’s been amazing. Thank you.

Hopefully there’s shouldn’t be too many reasons to do that and if you uninstall a native app it behaves the same. I don’t think that’s worth spending resources on tbh

If there aren't many settings, then of course it's pointless.

But the argument that native apps behave the same is not logical, because it's equally annoying IMO. Many native apps therefore store their settings, but a webapp might not be allowed to do so considering OS restrictions like sandboxing.
