Sharing

[laulee728]

Hi @Terrance -

First of all, massive kudos to you for creating this amazing google extension app. By any chance, would there be a way to share the bookmark setup with others as well? It would be a massive help to me and my team if there was a way to do that.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Many thanks,
Laura

Your only real option currently is to export your settings from one machine and import them on the others, which of course doesn't keep things in sync but will do for an initial copy.

Implementing #1 would potentially allow you to get a synced copy if other browsers are using the same sync account in the browser, though I assume for a team of people that this won't be the case.

We actually do the export/import for our team and it works great, the styles are the issue we run into though so we find we have to strip this out of the exported JSON file before importing it into another staff members install or they end up with my dark mode and custom css :).

Would it be possible to add an export JSON without styles option to facilitate this?

The import/export is primarily intended for backing up your data, so I don't particularly want to mess about with filters for bits of it when it's easy enough to remove the sections you don't want to share.

If you export often and want to automate removing the style section, you can use something like jq:

$ jq 'del(.style)' <homely.json >homely-nostyle.json
