Feedback & Suggested Improvements

Hi Ivan 👋,

First off, thank you for publishing this script! It’s been really useful for exporting Claude chats. While using version 4.1, I ran into a couple of issues and worked on fixes. Here’s a summary:

Issues observed

React error spam (Minified React error #418)
- Cause: The export buttons were being injected inside Claude’s React-managed DOM (.flex-row.items-center.gap-2).
- Effect: This triggered hydration mismatches and filled the console with React errors.
Chat titles not meaningful
- Often the exported filename was just Claude.md.
- This happened when the app didn’t expose a conversation title via h1 or document.title.

Fixes applied

Shadow DOM mount
The export buttons are now mounted in a floating widget attached to <body> with its own Shadow DOM.
→ No more React reconciliation errors, and UI is isolated.
Better title extraction
getChatTitle() was extended:
- Tries standard selectors.
- Falls back to document.title.
- If still generic, derives a title from the first user message snippet (up to 60 chars).
  → Filenames like 20250918214001_Random_walk_image_generation_in_C.md instead of just Claude.md.

Next steps

If you’re open to merging these improvements, I’d be glad to share the full patched code.
Alternatively, I can maintain a fork and keep attribution to your original project.

Thanks again for maintaining this script!
