Description
Create an API to enable users to download or export their account data. Useful for backing up data, or for moving data to a server that doesn't support an alternate 'copy'/migrate mechanism.
Note: This issue is related but separate from #12 - Enable users to migrate/copy their accounts to another server.
Open considerations:
- As @csarven mentioned, everything in the user's account should be exportable. What should the UI look like, for the user to select which data/containers they want exported?
- What format will the user's data be in? (see #11 - Implement/ensure Portability of user data)
To do:
- get consensus on the account export API
- determine the format of the exported data (see #11 - Implement/ensure Portability of user data)
- implement on
ldnode- create issue - add an 'Export Account' link to the profile-editor app

Research direction
Start by reviewing the open considerations and related issues #11 and #12, then inspect the ldnode implementation target and the profile-editor app. Done requires consensus on the account export API and data format, an ldnode implementation, and an Export Account link in profile-editor.
