This is amazing, and exactly what I needed right now. I used to download my post content with Hive Post Downloader, but that seems to have gone offline right at the point where I wanted to pull down the text of a series of posts I made a while back. The plan is to use them as a framework for total re-writing and publication as a novel - probably a crazy idea, but what the heck 😁

I love the clear UI you've made to go with this, it really helps visualise what is going on. If you're up for suggestions (sorry, more work !) it might be useful to find a way to add in an analysis of short form content. I appreciate that because they're effectively comments and several front-ends have a short form section it might be a challenge to segregate short form posts from subsequent replies and other more general comments elsewhere.

Definitely earned a follow and witness vote ! Thank you 😀

The only thing the download function here (at least for CSV) doesn't preserve is paragraphs and line breaks. I am not sure if the json will do that - to be honest, I didn't test that :P

I did write a quick little python script for myself to convert the csv content into markdown files which I now have loaded into my obsidian vault (which is what I use for writing) so I have access to my old content when I do so the same.

I am working on a science fiction collection of short stories, and have a few other "half novels" that I've written into the chain in the past that I should probably edit, polish and publish somewhere where they might have the chance of ongoing revenue.

What is your novel going to be about?

Regarding short form content - that is not something I am interested in analysing - along the lines of threads, snaps etc, a) there is too much data, and b) I like long form content.

To be honest I'll probably end up re-doing all the paragraph and line breaks anyway as I edit posts into novel format. So not having them in the export isn't a big deal, but with a little bit of arthritis in my hands it'll be nice not having to re-type all the actual text again !

I'll have to read your scifi posts - it's very much the genre I tend to write in, although the one I'm working on now is very much at the Space Opera end of the spectrum. I've created a pretty decent body of Hive posts all set in the same universe, some as standalones and others as short serials, and two longer serials that have the potential to be turned into novels or novellas.

I hear you on short form content ! Quite a few people seem to use it as their chosen medium, but whenever I've dipped into it I rapidly come back to long form content again.
