Bulk import from md and other apps
in progress
Steffen Bleher
Upload a zip folder of markdown files to capacities.
Considerations
- upload as a specific type and use front matter content to determine type and set properties
- upload to a specific space
Goal:
Maximize data integrity from other apps as best as possible. Requested apps:
- Notion
- Obsidian
- Roam
- Logseq
- RemNote
Supported syntax:
- #hashtag for tags
- front matter properties try to match to properties of type
- tags in front matter
- if front matter specifies a type try to match that to a capacities type

I agree with this sugestion. I desire to moved my obsidian's notes to capacities but upload one by one is a hard work and boring work.

Yes please, proper formated Google Keeep JSON import would be so appreciated! Good 10 years worth of notes and knowledge there

Need a Capacities Integration with other apps through Zapier

Just started trying out Capacities, and I have a good amount of data from various sources that I'd like to import. A bulk import that accepts CSVs (as a few people have mentioned) would be ideal. Otherwise I have a lot of work ahead of me. Thanks!

I've just heard Capacities from Instagram, and I love it. Can't wait to 100% switch from Notion to you guys asap.

Can we add Akiflow? They'll collaborate in any way possible.

I have a bunch of notes in Simplenote. Since its tags work a bit differently from how tags in capacities work, it'd be great in the import section to have an option where one can choose how those tags are imported.
I use the tags there as folders, though a note can have several tags and thus appear in several "folders". When importing, I'd like to have many of those tags become standalone objects in Cap. I know Cap doesn't support having one item belong to multiple objects so it'd be a bit tricky to determine which tags become main(made into objects) and which remain as tags.
Another possibility could be to import everything into a new object with tags retained as tags. Then one could sort through and decide which ones become converted into objects.
One thing I noticed though is that you can't convert a tag into an object. If conversion of a tag into a standalone object of the same name were possible, it'd be much easier to make the changes in bulk. I expect most people doing imports want to be able to make 'structural' changes to their imported notes in bulk.
The inability of items to be in different places except when tags are used will be a bit of a challenge for my use case.

So excited that you're doing this! 🙌 This is my most significant impediment to full adoption as a PKM.

It would alsoc be nice to upload Capacities backups so we can duplicate/merge spaces.

JSON and CSV. Simple. Universal. Infinitely transportable.
