Snipd format for Obsidian

[!NOTE]
This is a very early version, if something help, I would maintain it.

Repo Meta

Why

Snipd export all snips to a singal file by default. And they cannot be queried by obsidian. That’s okey when you just only have severals snips. But after two years usage, I have more than 3,000 snips on platform.

Export 3000 snips, format it manually, then delete them one by one?

Okey, sounds like a hell.

My solution is, using this script to separate them to them files, then you could copy them to obsidian.

So how the data on Snipd deal with? I choose to delete account, even though the origin data is still on server, cause Snipd only support export all snips one time. The design is weird so I have no idea what to do.

Is there any free alternatives? I wondered.

Anyway, this workflow works for me, and I really wish Snipd could consider the Obsidian use case.

That’s would be awesome.

At least not now : (
