import from wallos .json

[Silther]

I currently miss a few features from wallos, but find the interface subtrackr much cleaner.
Would be nice if I could import wallos exports to move over in the future.

Thanks @Silther -- I will look into this shortly, what other features would you like to see?

[Silther]

things like having an ics link a calendar can subscribe to instead of an ics file or not being able to create a subscription without a category.
But mostly I would need support for custom schedules like 4 weeks not just weekly and monthly.

@Silther 👍🏾 on the ical link, Monthly is every 4 weeks, can you elaborate on Custom Schedules?

[bscott]

Hey @Silther — thanks so much for your patience here, and I really appreciate you raising this.

I haven’t forgotten about the request at all. I’m taking a bit of extra time because Wallos is an actively evolving open-source project, and its export format may change over time. I want to make sure that if I do implement this, it’s done in a way that’s respectful of Wallos’s design and sustainable long-term, rather than something brittle that could break quickly.

Wallos has a genuinely great feature set, and that flexibility is part of what makes it such a strong project. The flip side is that matching every possible export variation may not always be feasible on my end, but I’m exploring what a thoughtful, well-scoped integration could look like.

I’ll keep you posted as I learn more — it’ll likely be a few weeks — and I really appreciate your understanding in the meantime.

Sorry that replied only now.
My feature request was a bit chaotic and I will divide it in multiple ones.

1. custom schedules in REQUEST: Add More Schedule Options #77 and Complex Schedules #75
2. .ics URL in [FR]: .ics URL in addition to file #83
3. subscriptions categories on the fly got already implemented

I’ll keep you posted as I learn more — it’ll likely be a few weeks — and I really appreciate your understanding in the meantime.

Does subtrackr already support importing its own backup?

[bscott]

@Silther it does now and I'm still working on how to support these external backup formats.
