# Everdo Export

This is a simple, in-progress tool for taking a JSON export from Everdo and parsing it, with the eventual goal of transforming it into something vaguely [Logseq](https://logseq.com/) compatible.

Additionally, all action blocks start with `collapsed:: true`, just to remove some clutter. There's also the `SCHEDULED: ` and `DEADLINE: ` commands, which are **not** 1:1 mappings to what Everdo has, but the script will fail if it's _too_ lossy.

### Notebooks

Notebooks look like projects for the most part, but they're also just mostly normal Logseq pages. They don't have `project-type` or `project-status` or `waiting-on` or `type`.

Notes are like action items, but without a TODO or other task label, and without other not-relevant properties like `waiting-on`, `inbox`, etc.
