Change Details

## Overview Users should be able to migrate all their writing between Write.as and Write Freely blogs/instances. ## Implementation **ZIP**: * Add **Import** button in Account Settings or wherever makes sense * Accept a *.zip file upload * Parse the archive, importing only *.txt files * Top-level files become anonymous posts / drafts * Directories create blogs (or skip creation if a blog with the name exists) * Files in directories get published to their corresponding blogs * The file's modified date is used as the post's `created` value; other metadata is left `NULL` **JSON**: * Add **Import** button in Account Settings or wherever makes sense * Accept a *.json file upload (of entire account) * Parse the file * Posts in the top-level `posts` array becomes anonymous posts / drafts * Create blogs from `collections` array * Publish posts containing all the same metadata for each post in the `collections[x].posts` array ### Changes to Export We might also consider including some metadata in exported zip archives -- if not for every post, at least for each directory / blog. ### Write.as Import Paid plans limit how many blogs someone can have, so maybe add another screen that lets users check off which directories / blogs they'd like to import.
