Evernote2obsidian - a better Evernote to Obsidian converter

[AltoRetrato]

Hello, Obsidian World!

If anyone is interested, I just released evernote2obsidian, a Python script that converts your Evernote notes to Obsidian.

I’ve been using Evernote for 15 years, but wanted to give Obsidian a try. Then I found out that importing from Evernote into Obsidian using the Obsidian Importer plugin and YARLE were very frustrating experiences, with a lot of formatting (and even some content) getting lost in translation, including note links. So, I built this tool to solve as many of those issues as I could, and now I’m sharing it for anyone looking to make the same switch.

You can also see A Comparison of Evernote to Obsidian Conversion Tools, with screenshots showing many features in Evernote, like this:

Then you can compare it with how it looks in Obsidian when converted with YARLE (in reading view):

And how it looks when converted with evernote2obsidian:

The script includes many conversion options and features to make the move from Evernote to Obsidian as smooth as possible. Give it a try!

I hope you’ll consider contributing changes to YARLE/Importer!

I actually tried to contribute to both YARLE and the official Importer plugin before creating this program. Unfortunately, most suggestions and issues I opened had no comments, even after several months…

I do believe that an even better and simpler import system can be created to make migrating from Evernote to Obsidian as easy as a couple of mouse clicks. I can make it work well, and work fast. But it would require a lot more work…

Both of your YARLE issues have comments, and most of the Importer ones were at least tagged. But I can see how eventually you’d just want something that works, and I see you gave YARLE a link to your project, so that gives them something to work with if they want.

Congrats on the release!
