Shweb

-- Overview --
Shweb is a browser extension for bulk managing websites local storage. Export websites local storage data as a backup or import your backed up storage file when needed.

-- What it does --

- Often times, web applications use local storage to store settings, text field values and other website specific assets, having them backed up and available to use on any browser/device is a productivity hack.
- Did you know you can loose these if you logout or reset something on your browser like application/device storage.
- Avoid that with Shweb. Shweb allows you back up those your website data from `local-storage`
- with an interface you can use to import and export those local storage content.
