Anyone have experience with Day One → Obsidian converters? There seem to be three that are active-ish; anyone have experiences/opinions of any of them?

I am curious to find out what works for you!

Figured I'd update this thread for posterity.

I actually *just* finished migrating my journal to Obsidian this morning. My experience with all of the existing conversion scripts was poor; none handle even modestly complex formatting well, nor are they good at capturing the metadata associated with Day One entries.

I've created a demo Day One export and corresponding Obsidian vault in an attempt to capture "gold standard" format conversion + as much Day One metadata as I can (there may be more, but I think I've got most of it).

In the end, I used a combination of a couple of different scripts with a lot of regular expression search-and-replace in VS Code and even more manual elbow grease.
