#Convert a downloaded export from Simplenote and Import to Laverna

This is not very polished actually rather ugly. Was just used for a one time run however thought someone else would find this useful and maybe even convert it to NodeJS only and give it a little polish.

Don't plan on using unless your familiar with Linux and want to spend a little time.

Requires: NodeJS, Linux, Simplenote and Laverna Account Syncronized with Dropbox.

Instructions

• From Simplenote select your name in the top right --> Download zip
• Extract Zip to a linux box with NodeJS
• Copy convert.js and convert.sh to the same directory
• Run ./convert.sh
• Copy produced .json files to Dropbox Storage eg Apps/Laverna/Notes
• Refresh Laverna
• Profit
