Our design philosophy is to sync as much as we can back to the OS, so that it can be picked up by other apps.

Let me take a note though and look into a manual export solution!

Yeah I think it's worth thinking through how to make the data easy to be portable

I know that sounds counterintuitive, and that data lock in is usually valuable, but I think it's generally a liability and history seems to show that building great services around mostly open components is the best way to build software for longevity and happiness.

If you can improve on or coopt an open contact format, that is third party accessible, and then you build the best interface and services around that, then you might have something important and lasting here!

Thanks
