A python script that converts Day One exports (JSON packed with media files into a zip file) to Markdown.

This is useful for exporting Day One entries to Obsidian. By default it uses Obsidian's ![[]] linking, change relativeMediaLinking value inside to False if you want regular Markdown links ( ![]()).

Based on ze-kel's efforts to export text, headers, tags, date, photos and audios. I've extended this a bit to include videos and pdf attachments, as well.

1. Install python 3
2. Go to Day One: File > Export > JSON. You can export everything to one zip file or have separate ones.
3. Download convert.py
4. Create "in" folder in the same directory as convert.py and place all Day One export zip files there
5. Run python convert.py

Note: Video files that use .mov are not currently embeddable in Obsidian, but Obsidian will open the default video player when these links are clicked. I wonder if this code could be extended to use ffmpeg to convert those videos... :-)
