Auto-download & sync
A great feature that i’ve yet to see on any twt app is auto-downloading (likes/bookmarks) media and metadata. In case for example a tweet gets deleted, an account gets deleted etc…
Right now you have to manually export both to json and media seperately, and theres no nice UI to view your downloads in or see a set exclusion of deleted tweets

In fact, I am thinking of another SaaS service, which I will call Mirror for the time being. Its function is to back up any social media account you specify, and all the original data and media are stored in the cloud, but only for public data. The idea was born because I have met several independent developers around me whose accounts were blocked by Twitter without any explanation. Other platforms may have similar needs. Twillot is still focused on local storage of personal data. Cloud functions are planned, but only for backup and synchronization and require active authorization by users.

Your suggestion is great.
The data of Twillot 1.0 is stored in the extension, and uninstalling the extension will lose the data.
The current data of Twillot 2.0 is stored locally in the browser. Uninstalling the extension will not lose the data synchronized in 2.0, but the data of 1.0 will be lost. If you have not installed 1.0, please ignore this.
The synchronized data of Twillot is completely local to you and will not be uploaded to any server. Downloading a large number of files in the browser is limited by the various environments of the local browser, and it may be interrupted at any time, and the user cannot close the web page. So the best way may be to synchronize local data to the cloud, and the cloud will automatically download after the user turns on a certain setting.
