After reading this response to a Hacker News post, I was curious about this Zettelkasten concept. In turn, I purchased the “How to Take Smart Notes” book.
As someone who’s liked the idea of having text-based note taking – I’m even writing this in markdown – I’ve tried various tools for Markdown-based note-taking. Eventually I gave up and moved everything to Apple Notes because it just seemed much easier to stay in the flow.
Well, now I’m back to scratching my text-based note taking to try out Obsidian. That meant I had to export out all of my old notes. Hello to Exporter. While somewhat incomplete – it doesn’t move over screenshots – it does the main job of getting the text moved into Markdown.
TIL: If you need to export Apple Notes to Markdown, try out Exporter!
