I am aware spaRSS is not mean't for syncing to cloud readers but I do have a tablet and phone and when I add or remove a entry I would like it to sync to my other devices without me having to export and import the data again.

A suggestion I would like to make is to instead of adding a built-in sync feature or adding support to every cloud storage provider, instead have a file that the user can choose where it is saved on their devices and it will contain the entries and all the data for the app. This way people can easily use apps such as Syncthing and sync the folder of where this file is stored to their other devices.

The one thing I would like though for security and privacy is for this file to be encrypted. Maybe you can consider using 7z or some other file compression with good encryption. By using encryption no other app would be able to read the file and it will be more secure when being transmitted between devices. This will require a password to be set on the file and spaRSS will need to store this password in the app to access the file so it can read/write the file.

This request will allow users to sync their spaRSS data between devices and they can easily choose how to without needing to add APIs for every cloud storage service.

You could try my fork spaRSS-DecSync which does exactly this. Encryption is currently not supported, but I'm working on it.
