Question 01How should offline edits be synchronized?

Queue local mutations, push idempotently, then apply cursor-based deltas.

Question 02What remains available without a connection?

Importing, editing, search, export, and the complete local note library.

The product idea

Turn conversation history into knowledge people can actually use.

Chat exports are valuable but difficult to revisit. ChatSaver reshapes selected conversations into editable Q&A blocks, then makes them searchable, portable, and available without a connection.

The architecture keeps IndexedDB as the immediate working source of truth. A secured Spring Boot and PostgreSQL service adds identity, backup, recovery, and cross-device synchronization when connectivity is available.

Product architecture

Local speed. Durable recovery. Clear ownership.

01

Import and shape

Parse ChatGPT exports locally and turn selected conversations into editable question-and-answer notes.

02

Work offline

Keep creating, reading, searching, editing, sharing, and exporting without waiting for a network request.

03

Synchronize safely

Push bounded idempotent mutations, then pull cursor-based deltas for dependable cross-device continuity.

04

Recover completely

Use PostgreSQL-backed snapshots, deletion markers, and normalized recovery when a local vault is cleared.

Offline-first invariant
Creating, reading, updating, searching, and deleting a local note does not require a network request.

Imported ChatGPT content is parsed locally before any optional synchronization.

Pending local changes are preserved until the server acknowledges them.
