Lore+ Import/Export

Lore entry at the moment is a somewhat manual. Would be great to be able to provide or receive a zip file containing folders and files in simple/common document format. Another option is a JSON file which allows for setting additional fields in addition to the page text. The use case of a zip of folders and files works better since the document format can be pulled into a common editor, like Google Docs or MS Word. With JSON having to add the text formatting for each page would clutter the JSON data.

As you extend import/export to other world objects such as items, classes, races, characters, etc. You will probably want a more “data” centric format like JSON. In fact it would be wonderful to be able to export a World as a giant JSON file, but I don’t know how practical that would be in practice. May be simpler to provide a zip with a mix of folders and files in various formats depending on the nature of the data.

Ultimately it us up to you guys how much and how little import capability you provide and what shape it takes. There are other considerations here, such as encouraging adoption, but not making it too trivial to leave your platform. There may also be licensing concerns as to what is allowed to be imported/exported and how. Let alone IP issues with the lore content your AI model is consuming or being trained on. This is all muddy ground at the moment so take care.
