Thanks for making your app. I’ve used it more than once and it works well. Many export solutions don’t handle attachments but yours does. So kudos for that.
A few years ago I tried to write my own exporter using AppleScript but got stuck by a showstopping bug in Notes AppleScript implementation. Or so it seemed. I hope that bug is fixed now. I just moved on to use your app instead.

I am glad it's being useful. :)
I used AppleScript for the first two years of this app as well (Can't believe it's been 7 years since I started it). But it's hard to handle complex programs, and handing off data to Swift or Objective-C from AppleScript. So I switched to [ScriptingBridge](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/scriptingbridge). It provides better Objective-C APIs to handle Apple Events.

This is so cool and way cooler than my tool!! I chose JSON because it was the easiest option. And also because it is the format I wanted to support first, but mostly because it was the easiest.
Also, why did you select JSON as the output format?
