Ciao Lost Admin That is good to know. Recovery is possible. One of the issues is what happens if your local DB in the browser gets corrupted.
I'm very interested in NoteSelf's resilience. Part of that will come from local JSON exports as you just did. And part of it from HOW to renegotiate connection to a remote DB after a crash and what state the remote DB will be in. Earlier critiques of NoteSelf were that you can get locked-in to browser storage and unable to migrate. I do NOT think that is the case. But regular JSON dumps are a, I think a good idea.
