Since, you can sign in with GitHub, it would be cool if it could sync/backup posts to a repo. Since in the end, the posts are mostly markdown, each post could be a .md file in the repo, with the title, subtitles, img header, and tags, in either <> or a code block. Or as plain text and a horizonal divider (*).

That’s an awesome idea! Would need to request write permissions though and most users are wary of this. Thoughts?
Can you have different permissions from different users? If so it could be a setting to "backup to github", and then request that permission then.

Is there a place I can put suggestions/requests? Because I have some for the editor.
