Boostrap and Simplenote Syncronization tool.

While wanting to switch from a Simplenote workflow and using nvALT to Boostrap I realized a manually import was going to be too complicated so i started a utility script.

Then i realized I could use this tool to continue parts of my note taking workflow in Simplenote including Cloud Syncronization, multiple device editing and there Android app which Boostrap still lacks.

Warning

This was a utility script so it is not yet very polished. It also does not keep tags from either app or modified time. I recommend understanding the script a bit and doing some tests. (See next)

Boostrap Duplicate cleanup utility script is also included.

This was created as i learned the hardway Boostrap maintains in memory reference to it's persistence and after migrations editing notes will cause duplicate entries.

I was unable to get a smart enough regex done after a good round of note cleanup so i leveraged a String Similiary library Which turned out to be REALLY cool and I imagine I will use this for other projects.

Instructions

Read the comment block at the top for instructions but as quickstart modify read and write dir's, change id in skeleton.js and run. You will have to have nvALT setup as Plain Text Storage.

* @TITLE: Simplenote and Boostrap Note Syncronization
*
* @DESCRIPTION: Supports two modes one which exports
* Boostrap notes and exports them to nvAlt .txt files.
* The other will export nvALT txt files to Boostrap .cson files
*
* @INSTRUCTIONS: Change readDir's and writeDir's at the top of
* both functions appropriately then run with no parameters for
* insrtructions.
*
* I recommend changing the folder id in skeleton.js. It may
* even be required.

* @AUTHOR: Eric Soukenka
* @DATE: April 20th 2017
*
* @NOTE: nvALT must have syncronization setting set to Plain
* Text files.
*
* @NOTE: Ensure you restart Boostrap after import to avoid
* duplicate entries.
*
* @NOTE: NOT YET POLISHED meaning it has a lot of my specific
* requirements and even the code is relatively embarrising :)
