[Feature Request] Import data from other apps / import CSV about greenstash

[starry-shivam]

First of all, thank you for showing interest in Greenstash. Regarding the general CSV import and export functionality, along with JSON, it seems totally doable. However, importing backups from another app isn't something that would be reliable, as I can't guarantee that their backup would always follow the same structure as I've integrated them right now. This means I'll constantly have to monitor the source code of a bunch of other apps to track changes in their export schema and continuously update my import functionality.

Additionally, there's another issue. Take Paisa, for example. It's a full-fledged expense tracking application, whereas Greenstash is an app designed for tracking savings by setting saving goals. The scopes of both applications are entirely different, as are their databases. This, combined with the aforementioned reason, makes it even less sensible to have such a functionality. I believe this app can be used as a complementary tool with your favorite expense tracker instead of replacing it, as Greenstash isn't an expense tracker in the first place. Adding the ability to import data from expense tracker apps doesn't really make much sense here; it'll just add to the burden of maintainability with no guarantee of success.
