Writefreely to Markdown

The default writefreely export only embed metadata in files and misses many other metadata, which is hard to be used for other blogging software.

This script converts writefreely exported JSON files into CommonMark based markdown files.

Usage

Exporting files from your blog

1. Go to your blog website and log in
2. Click customize button in the top left corner
3. Hover over your logo on top left, and click export
4. Click JSON or prettified (They are the same), and download.

Install and run this program

I recommend using pipx, since you usually only need this software once:

pipx run writefreely-to-markdown --help

Otherwise, you can either run the script file at ./writefreely_to_markdown/main.py directly, or install using pip install writefreely-to-markdown

Check out the usage and run the program again, the generated markdown files are in ./exported by default.
