Research direction
The issue involves disabling the export functionality when viewing an empty board screen. Look at the component that renders the settings menu (likely a board header or sidebar). Locate the export button/option and add a conditional check to disable it when there are no boards. The codebase uses TypeScript and React; check for existing conditions that hide other UI elements on the empty state. Since the issue has an assignee, verify if they are still working on it before starting.
