   Here is a simple "Archive" button that places as all todos tagged with done in an Archive tiddler as JSON.

   Note: multiple rounds of archiving will just keep appending the export to the bottom, meaning the import process/un-archiving would be more complicated, but this is just a proof of concept

   <$vars archiveTiddlerTitle="Archive" 
          todoText=<<jsontiddlers "[tag[done]]" >> 
          emptyJSON="[]" linebreak="
   
   "> 
       <$set name="newArchiveText" 
             filter="[<todoText>!match<emptyJSON>]" 
             value={{{ [title<archiveTiddlerTitle>get[text]addsuffix<linebreak>addsuffix<todoText>] }}} 
             emptyValue={{{ [title<archiveTiddlerTitle>get[text]] }}} >
   
           <$button>
               <$action-setfield $tiddler=<<archiveTiddlerTitle>> 
                                 $field="text" 
                                 $value=<<newArchiveText>> />
               <$action-deletetiddler $filter="[tag[done]]" />           
               Archive! 
           </$button>
   
       </$set>
   </$vars>

   Good idea. ... Should it be possible to "resurrect" ToDos from the archive? ... just curious.

   @pmario - definitely. I posted about this on the GG as well.

   I think a problem towards un-archiving is:

   • In the proof-of-concept solution I gave above, different archiving batches will just be appended as separate JSON objects, instead of merging everything back into one large JSON object.
   • Even if that was solved, actually building the unarchiver is probably beyond my abilities, though it might be a good use case for Joshua's JSON Mangler.
