(waiting for deletion)

INK for ALL made our process around publishing content to my static site so much speedier capability to export Markdown documentation. I can export Jekyll-compatible files as well

Weird, the recipe is never triggered for me. Don't know exactly why ...

I do something similar but in a single step: I have an IFTTT recipe that runs the Pocket favorite through your heckyesmarkdown.com service to save the file directly where I want. The pro is that it all happens online, but the con is that I have to save tags in the filename, not as native osx tags.

Brent…

Sorry to bother. Having trouble compiling this script. I made but one change. I removed the "'s around target file entry since my nvALT notes reside in dropbox with a folder name identical to yours. Hazel tells me I have a missing field. Here's what I am trying to run

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

# Works with IFTTT recipe https://ifttt.com/recipes/1...

#

# Set Hazel to watch the folder you specify in the recipe.

# Make sure nvALT is set to store its notes as individual files.

# Edit the $target_folder variable below to point to your nvALT

# ntoes folder.
