I’m trying to create a word cloud using text from my conversations among friends from different chat groups we share as a birthday card. In order to do this, I need all the raw text data from our chats. Exporting chat content from Instagram and Messenger was a breeze, Signal is _impossible_ and, though I thought this would be simple in delta chat, there does not seem to be a way to export a chat transcript with metadata from delta chat (as a JSON, for example, with timestamp, sender display name, etc.). The only way I can do it so far is by copy-pasting, but this leaves out important sender metadata. I believe such a high quality export could and should be either a core feature of delta chat (see [https://support.delta.chat/t/progress-on-feature-export-chat-to-zip](https://support.delta.chat/t/progress-on-feature-export-chat-to-zip)), or should be developed as a webxdc app! If I had the time I’d do it myself, but I’m putting this out there in case someone with the time and capabilities can carry this out themselves in the coming months. Thank you!
