Scrivener Import

It'd be awesome to be able to more or less wholesale import a Scrivener project in order to full migrate to Dabble.

This! I have a massive Scrivener project that I'd love to get into Dabble, but the task seems so tedious to copy and paste everything.

Yes, me too. I have an 80000 word 1st draft in Scrivener, and would really like to use Dabble's plot grid.

This shouldn't have to be a user wish, it should be Dabble's top priority. Its absence is likely the top reason Scrivener users AREN'T switching over.

Same - also import for Characters please.

I'm testing Dabble and a few other online writing apps as an alternative to Scrivener.
So far Dabble looks like it fits my needs exactly and I'll very likely subscribe. This is how I plot!

But adding and reorganizing all chapters and subchapters was a hassle.
I'm really not looking forward to manually copy/pasting all my characters into a new project from Scrivener. Or each time (?) between books in a series.

This would be extremely useful -- I have more than a million words to move into Dabble.
