I might have a workaround.

  1. Export from Mini Diary to TXT (plain text)
  2. Run the python script python.py.txt
  3. Either manually copy the content to journal or jrnl < output

@github2099 It looks like you've written importers for these formats that are already pretty close to complete. Have you considered sending us a PR with these importers to put them into jrnl?
