Taskler

Taskler is a simple text editor web page. It's available as a website, Chrome extension and a Firefox extension.

You can use shortcuts like cmd+B for bold, cmd+I for italics, cmd+U for underline and cmd+K for links.

Data recovery

For some reason, Brave deleted all my localStorage data, including Taskler's. This does not seem to be a problem with Taskler. If you have a backup, Taskler's data can be restored. Brave stores localStorage at in the following folder in my case:

~/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Local Storage/leveldb

For Chrome, it's this folder in my case:

~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Profile 1/Local Storage/leveldb

You should be able to simply restore this folder. Keep in mind that this folder doesn't just contain Taskler's data.

What I did to restore my Taskler data was this:

1. Restore the aforementioned folder into ~/Downloads
2. Install golang
3. Install leveldb-tools by running go get github.com/rchunping/leveldb-tools
4. Export the database into plaintext format by running leveldb-tools -dbpath ~/Downloads/leveldb -action export -file ~/Downloads/dumpfile.txt
5. Open ~/Downloads/dumpfile.txt and search for quill-state. If there are multiple instances of that, you might be able to tell which one is correct by the text after it.
6. Select and copy the object that is after quill-state, starting with { and ending with }. Unfortunately you'll have to figure out where that is. In my case, this text came after the object: KL:=_chrome-extension://jnibmbpjkpfgaefgbnaneldfbfecpjih.
7. In Taskler, open the developer tools and go to the Application tab. In the sidebar, open the item found inside Local Storage.
8. You'll see a table with Key and Value columns. Double-click the value of the quill-state key and pase in the object.
