+```zsh
+cat export.json \
+ | jaq --raw-output '..["url"]? | strings' \
+ | rg --fixed-strings "wallhaven.cc/w" \
+ | gallery-dl --input-file -
+```
+I exported my current session to json with tab session manager. This command
+takes that json export (referred to as `export.json`), finds all the urls
+that contain `wallhaven.cc/w` (i.e. all urls that are wallhaven images) and
+passes them to gallery-dl. Gallery-dl then neatly downloads all of those images
+in their original quality.
+
+This workflow could be made better by creating a version of tab session manager
+that exports in a simpler (or more configurable format), and I could also turn
+this into a script that takes the wanted website formats as an argument.
+Invocation of the script might look something like:
+```zsh
+tabsession-dl --format "wallhaven.cc/w" --format "reddit.com/r" \
+ --input-file export.json
+```
