Is there a way to generate a csv list of all my Hive posts ?
What I am wondering is whether it's possible to download a list of posts as a csv file ?
In an ideal situation, it would be good to have fields for post title, url, date and community it was posted in, but just a list of url's would be usable.

What's a CVS file?
CSV = Comma Separated Values.
It's basically a spreadsheet format that's just raw data without formatting, ideal for import into Excel or other spreadsheet programs. Also widely used when you want to import/export large volumes of organised data elsewhere, e.g. product data into e-commerce platforms, sales reports from eBay etc.
For some reason, American software often prefers a tab or pipe delimited format, which is the same basic principle but using a different character to mark where one cell ends and the next begins. But they are gradually coming around to using the same standard as the rest of us....
That's pretty interesting. Sadly though, I don't have an answer of whether it's possible here.
In terms of using it for Hive posts, would it be a way of exporting and filing all of the posts in one document to access them more easily?
Yep, that's what I'm hoping for !
The goal is to index them by topic, mainly so I can easily drop links in if I write a story that refers back to a previous post or characters I've used before.
The way things are going, I might end up doing it manually ! It would probably take a day, but in the long run it would save time re-finding old posts.
It may not be ideal, but I was planning on doing something like this for the same reason in Google Docs. I done it before for one of the novels and it made it so handy.
So, I was able to add an index to each chapter heading and by clicking the titles there I could jump through the document. Which was great for editing it.
I want to make something like that again, something like 'A World Building Bible' you can even make subheaders, which would look like.
It would make it so much easier having it all in one place to quickly bounce around to refer to aspects of each place.
Hey there... There most definitely is, yes... and it's not too much code either to extract it straight of the blockchain (if someone doesn't have it already).
... but even easier would be to check out if "HIVE SQL" still exists... a project a year or 3 ago that writes the entire blockchain (or most of the NB/'query-able' stuff anyway) to a SQL database... then it's a 30 second query to that DB.
Hit me up on discord also "braaiboy" if you don't come right with the more seasoned developers here on HIVE.

Thank you ! I have to admit that one of my big failings is an inability to code 🙄 I can do a bit of simple HTML, but that's not the same as coding by any means. I've ended up going through the process manually, doing a month's worth every few days.
But longer term, I think Hive needs tools like this that ordinary non-techie users can access, or if they exist, for them to be better publicised. I'm definitely finding more and more things I'd like to do that I just don't have the technical skill-set to achieve and which I feel should be accessible to regular users without the need to learn coding, SQL or whatever first ! It's certainly a big barrier which will prevent Web3 attracting users who are used to Web2....
Yeah... the problem is there's no incentive for someone to create something like that. There are monthly costs involved in running it too.
For sure they exist... but probably on some oke's computer at home... but yeah, went through the exercise just the other day to find EXACTLY that... not JUST for the new users... but those of us that have been around a while too.
Gonna just do my "scratchpad" dump for now... will eventually become a post once I've got all the ones I'm looking for ;-)
