GitHub Gist/ Acode Account DatabaseIntegration #1961

Feature Request: Cloud Backup & Sync (GitHub Gist / Acode Account)

Overview

Introduce a cloud-based backup and synchronization system using GitHub Gist and/or a dedicated Acode Account backend. This would allow users to securely save, restore, and synchronize their editor data across devices.

Features

GitHub Gist Integration

• Sign in with GitHub.
• Store settings as private GitHub Gists.
• Backup:
  • Editor settings
  • Themes
  • Extensions list
  • Snippets
  • Workspaces
  • Custom configurations
• One-click restore on a new device.
• Manual and automatic backups.

Acode Account Integration

• Optional Acode-managed cloud account.
• Sync data across Android, Desktop, and Acode Web.
• Device-to-device migration.
• Secure cloud storage for user preferences.
• Account recovery and backup management.

Sync Options

• Backup now
• Auto-sync
• Restore from backup
• Version history
• Selective restore (settings, themes, extensions, etc.)

Benefits

Many Acode users switch between devices, reinstall systems, or use temporary environments. Cloud backup and synchronization would eliminate the need to manually export/import settings while providing a seamless setup experience across all Acode platforms.

This feature would become even more valuable alongside Acode Web (acode.dev), enabling users to instantly restore their complete development environment from anywhere.
