Allow exporting results in at least csv format about useful-forks.github.io HOT 4 CLOSED

For now, after a very quick research, I've found a solution which seems to at least work for very simple cases: https://stackoverflow.com/a/33807762/9768291

I haven't tested it with my more "complex" table which contains SVGs, for example. I'll get around to looking deeper into this at some point when I have time.

I think a nice and complete solution would offer both options:

1. Export to a CSV file
2. Share with an URL

Thank you! :)

I've actually been considering this so that people can share results through a simple URL.

My problem is that there is a maximum length to URLs so it'd be hard to encode very long result lists in there. I'm still trying to land on a viable solution.

If you have any ideas, feel free to share. :)

For now, how about allowing the user to download the data (as csv/markdown)?

Later, you can allow the users to add a paste using their own pastebin account. No need to work with URLs :)

If you want url, then serialize the results, then compress them (lzma?) Might be possible to cover almost all repos (since you also filter results with no modifications on master).

I started working on this:

And I get the right format for the data:

I'm only missing the part where I can actually trigger a download.
