  I wanted to share this wonderful Standard notes Folder Export CLI tool - https://github.com/BrunoBernardino/standardnotes-folder-export-cli - that I just found to fill a "critical hole" (or at least for me) in Standard Notes backup/export options. I have been using Standard Notes as a paid user for years with a grandfathered paid 5 year plan, so this is by no means an attack on Standard Notes but more of my level of obsession over my personal notes and knowledge base. Mainly that while Standard Notes has always been future proof without any lock in due to its plain text export, worse case the export features always came off to me as less than idea. For purposes of backup and restoring to Standard Notes the single file archive with encrypted and plain text versions makes sense. Along with the plain text folder option which gives you every note as its own text file to make it more "human readable", so all promises were fulfilled by Standard Notes when it comes to fully owning your own data. My one issue with it is that as one with lots of notes that makes heavy use of tags/folders to make it more user friendly, having all of my notes in a single folder when exported is a mess that would be a pain to deal with as a whole. Enter this tool which parses your single file export archive into a folder structure to recreate how you had things organized in Standard Notes. A major game changer for me as it means I now finally feel safe to be able to add my personal knowledge base (journal files, and various reference notes files) so I can finally go all in when it comes to keeping all of my personal notes in Standard Notes knowing that I can now easily get them out in the same without losing my folder system which makes them usable. Sure I could have used other tricks such as really long files or using type prefixes in my note titles to allow for easy sorting before but that would have been less than ideal. Anyway sharing this in the hopes that this little script will be just as big of a Standard Notes game changer to at least a few other people in the same way as it was for me.
