An export feature would be nice
It would be nice to be able to press a button which would create a zipped file for me to download all of my content on Tildes. Just one markdown file for each post or comment I ever wrote on Tildes.

I was just reminded of that again when going back and looking at some of my old posts on reddit which is openly selling online data. Prompted me to use Redact which erases and overwrites comments before deleting them. But that got me wondering if the same is true of Tildes? And how would we know?
The scraper usually works pretty well but as seen here it can sometimes fail pretty spectacularly, in which case it would be beneficial if we could edit the data it collects.
I just noticed today that in ~music, the "topic-info-source" metadata isn't visible in listings; it shows the author name instead. Clicking through to the post it's clear that it's been scraped, it just doesn't get a site name or favicon.
eg: Youtube link on ~movies versus Youtube link on ~music
Is this intentional? It sorta makes it look like everything on ~music is a text post.
Would love to see different live data on things like user counts, post/comment frequency, etc
