[REQUEST] Sync settings #1

Hi! I've testing/using this app and I guess that I was "love at first use" (haha) and it definitely will be my default clock/alarm app.

Have you planned, or considered to implement something to sync the settings across devices? I don't know, something similar like WhatsApp's feature to retrieve/make backups into Google Drive.

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Thanks!

Syncing was a feature I planned from the very beginning, but I don't know what the best solution is. I don't have any experience with networking, but I like the Google Drive idea.

You could use Firebase and store there the settings!

This can be an early step it covers very small userbase, though.

Last I heard Firebase got really opinionated and heavy on deps. Getting a Google Drive integration is cool. Google Play games integration is probably far easier from what I have seen.
