I was so hesitant on supporting IG import for the longest time because of handling zip archives, and even considered building a service that every instance would use.

NLnet didn't like that, and it made me rethink the implementation and that's when the light bulb went off.

Why upload the zip at all? Why not just unarchive it in browser and allow users to select the posts.

This removes the server zipbomb issue, and is more privacy friendly as server only gets just the selected posts.
