I've mostly used Lagrange on mobile, but I've started using it on desktop more lately. I see the export data option in mobile, but how can I import my bookmarks and stuff back into the desktop version (if I can)? Is there any good way to sync the two up also? I don't mind just manually syncing bookmarks but if there's some way to go about syncing it that'd be neat (even if it's just using Syncthing on a folder or file somewhere).

It looks like if you move the exported zip onto your desktop, then open it in Lagrange (by pasting the file path into the URL bar), it should give you the option to import all your stuff.
@aeon well I'll be damned. It's not automated but it's at least easy, so that's at least good enough for me.
I've been wondering if there's a way to sync for some time because I use Lagrange on several computers.
It would be cool to develop a bookmark syncing standard. Like the bookmarks themselves could just be a .gmi file I'd think. Then syncing could be done via Titan perhaps.
@sirwilburthefirst I'd definitely love it if it could just be in a single file somewhere, because since I already use syncthing between my PC and my phone I could just add that to the stuff I sync
@lori You could try Syncthing on the Lagrange bookmarks.ini at least, if you can access it on mobile. Manual export/import is the "official" syncing method at the moment.
Automatic syncing between devices would be very convenient, but there are some technical hurdles with it:
The solution I find most promising is a self-hosted sync server. Then you'd be responsible for your own private data, especially the certificates (but bookmarks are personal as well). Self-hosting might be OK for many Gemini users but there would be a significant portion that wouldn't or couldn't use it.
I could consider making a public sync service here on this server, but it might be a bit tricky ensuring that everyone's data remains properly encrypted for security.

I miss syncing of the history and/or viewed pages the most. The rest doesn't change that much, but my viewed pages change very time I use Lagrange.
