How do I import notes from Obsidian?

1. Open the Notesnook app (web or desktop)
2. Go to Settings > Import & export > Notesnook Importer and select "Obsidian".
3. Drop your .md files from your Obsidian Vault, or click anywhere inside the box to browse and select your .md files. You can also provide a .zip file containing all your Obsidian .md files. Then click "Start importing".
4. Once the importing completes you should see all your notes in Notesnook. If you face any issues during importing, feel free to report them on GitHub.
