Android and web export
-
On Mobile simple – it automatically exports to .json and I can read it on text viewer.
Web is not so simple: no file type, and whether one manually inserts .json or .txt the resulting file (when opened in notepad or json viewer) is a mass of jumbled characters.
Not the first time I’ve been irritated by idiotic differences between Android and web.

Hi. The web app exports a zip file, notes.zip. But is does it in a funny way that may cause a browser to display it rather than download it. You might try a different browser.
(I had this problem on my iPad after an update to the iCabMobile browser. I complained to the dev and he was able to fix it.)

Apologies for the confusion.
The Browser app does indeed export a zip. But the desktop app does not export zip (not in V2.0.0). ‘Save as type’ has ‘all files (*.*)’ which means unknown type.

I see. Have you tried changing the extension of the exported file to .zip? If you’re referring to the Windows desktop Simplenote app, it is related to the web app by the common Electron implementation, so should behave similarly.
