'''

Since stash.ai became a paid-only service while still offering a super buggy product, I decided to switch to Raindrop.io
This shamelessly sloppy script might help you do the same.

Usage: ./stash-to-raindrop.py stash-export.json generated-file

import sys
import json

def convert(f, output):
    with open(f) as data_file:
        data = json.load(data_file)

    outfile = output + '.html'
    export = open(outfile, 'w')
