option to download all my notebooks at once #460

flurrux commented 2 years ago

i think it would be neat to be able to download all of my notebooks as a single archive, to have as a local backup.
currently, i have to download them one by one, which takes some time and probably is not as storage efficient as it could be.

i'm imagining the downloaded page to have a notebooks and a collections tab that look like what we have on observable now, including thumbnails and sorting options.
it would also be nice to have a toggle button that showed the code for each cell.

here is a similar feature request for downloading collections: #253

This would be akin to having a self-hosted version of Observable. If you are mainly looking for a backup, you may want to look at this excellent solution from Tom Larkworthy, https://observablehq.com/@tomlarkworthy/github-backups

thank you for the link @CobusT, but tomlarkworthys method is not quite what i'm looking for (i think).
i'm looking for a way to make a static snapshot of my notebooks and browse through collections within, just for archival purposes and without any editing capabilities.
