As a Nexus Web App user

I want to have the option to implement a portable install option for the Web App

So that when I need to install my OS, move to a new PC etc I can load my setup from where I left off and start playing my games as I did before And I don't have to spend time setting everything up again from scratch.

This is technically possible today via AppConfig.json, if the user re-routes their locations via the config file.

It's unknown if there will be a GUI/'user friendly' method to do this.

I'd leave this open to keep in consideration while developing.

Can you share how to do it now?
