Syncing with Gist about pine HOT 9 OPEN

Ok, Step 1 is working! Now I'm gonna clean the code and go to step 2

from pine.

Great idea! As of right now, I think this is a bit out of scope since I'm still adding basic/fundamental features to Twig. I'll leave this issue open though and come back to it later after some more of the core features have been implemented

I just got exporting to Gist working with a private token.
It definitely gets trickier when there's syncing, but at the moment I think it would be cool to add an Export to Gist feature.
Do you think an exporting feature would be cool? If so, I can definitely work on this feature. If not, I understand that there is more stuff that needs to be prioritized.

If your keen to implement exporting to Gist then definitely go ahead! That would be awesome. Then in the future syncing could be added for sure

This is where I'm at right now. My next steps are:

1. Figure it out how we could use an actual Github login instead of just asking for a token
2. Save this info in a safer place (Currently in UserDefaults)
3. Have an exporting screen where the user can choose a file name, description and if it's public or private.

What are your thoughts?

That looks great, nice work.

For point 1, is it possible to show a GitHub web login window (opened from preferences window) where the user can sign in and we can grab the token from that? I think this is how most apps authorize with GitHub.

For 2, we should most probably do this using the Keychain.

For 3, I agree, some sort of pop up window when the user clicks export would be nice to have. I plan to add something like this for all export options sometime in the future anyway where the user can choose all sorts of options for their export.

Also, I noticed in the gif that the sidebar icon section at the bottom has a white background, is this how it always is for you? It shouldn’t be like that, I will fix that up

Thanks!

@lfarah How are you going on this? Even if you're not done, do you want to perhaps open a pull request with whats done so far?
