Great project 😎

I don't know if this feature (two features?) is already built-in but if it is it's not obvious ...

The problem
It's a problem to continue previous chats, as well as to switch topics. Also if you want to save a chat for future reference.

The solution
Some UI that allows you to go back to previous and switch between chats (like in the ChatGPT UI), and an Export button for saving conversations to md files.

Alternatives
A workaround would be to manually copy paste the whole chat and save them to a file and then refeed them to the LLM to continue.

Hi, There is a sidebar you can toggle which has all the features you've listed.

When #123 gets merged to main, the sidebar should be toggled on by default if the screen size is big enough.

Thanks!

Oh 😅 - that's great! I really didn't see it there - it makes sense to have it on by default.

But also - it's a bit weird that it covers the chat - I guess in the PR it will appear side by side or?

Thanks 🙏
