Request - Import from Loop Habits Tracker #217
Description
The request
I have more than three years of data in Loop Habits Tracker that I don't wanna lost or redo manually.
The app let you export a backup or csv files. Would be nice to look at the CSV generated by Loop Habits Tracker and making it compatible with an import somehow. That way previous data are preserved and let users migrate to Grit easily.
Based on the following explained structure do you think it would be possible?
The CSV structure of Loop Habits Tracker
When exporting as CSV Loop Habits Tracker generate a zip archive within it there is a folder for each habit tracked by the app with a prefix of the order in the app.
Exemple:
- 001 Doing exercices
- 002 Doing Yoga
- 003 Practicing french
- 004 Brushing Teeth
There is also three CSV files at the root of the zip archives alongside previously explained folders that tracks every habits. In the habit folders there is for every one of them a Checkmarks.csv and Scores.csv tracking only their respective habits.

What's needed
Habits.csv and Checkmarks.csv are the one that should be used for the import. I think Grit first need to import all the habits and converting their metadata from Loop Habits Tracker to its own structure.
Then it should also import the history of the checkmarks and numerical tracking.
The score are useless I guess cuz Grit would re-evaluate and score by itself.
