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?

Did this resolve itself?

I wasn't able to open a PR. but the script itself should work
