# Export Your Data!
I don't believe in locking users into a given platform. That's why one of the first priorities on the feature list for this platform has been data export.
The way it works is this: You can request a Data Export (limited to once every 24 hours, which should be more than often enough!). The export includes a simple, self-contained file named ***index.html***, and you can open it in any web browser to view your posts chronologically.
#For# For the nerds:
The data will also be available as subfolders for each post, named by date/timestamp of the post. Each post folder has a markdown file you can open in any text editor, and it will have the content of the post (as however it displayed on the site at the time of the export).
These timestamped folders and markdown files are useful for if you ever need to take your data elsewhere.
In addition, there's metadata about the post, its Post ID on YA.town, for example, and a markdown table at the bottom listing all media that was uploaded and used.
The images themselves are stored in the post folder beside the post's markdown text file.
The format of a post's export file (example.md) looks like the following:
