Suggestion to Improve Local Data Management - Either Remove Account Sync or Add Session Import Feature

I think many people in your community are aware of the account and chat data synchronization issues that occurred in early February.ย 

I'm writing about the current data management approach in Venice.ai, which creates a frustrating "data island" situation for users.

Currently, conversations are stored locally in the browser, but there's an account ID synchronization mechanism that prevents proper access to this data across different devices or after reinstalling the application. This design creates a significant problem: the data exists locally but becomes inaccessible when users need to switch devices or perform a clean installation.

I see two potential solutions:

  1. Option 1: Remove the account synchronization mechanism entirelySince conversations are stored locally and not synchronized to Venice.ai servers, the account sync serves no practical purpose but creates data accessibility issues. Simply removing this would allow users to access their locally stored conversations regardless of login status.

  2. Option 2: Implement a session import feature on mobileThis would allow users to export their conversations from one device and import them to another. Even if users haven't exported all sessions beforehand, they could still recover previously exported conversations after data loss or app reinstallation, minimizing damage.

The current approach undermines the value of local storage while providing no meaningful benefit to users. Please consider implementing one of these solutions to improve the user experience and make local data truly accessible to the owners of that data.

Thank you for considering this feedback.
