Sync with Evernote and possible donation of code for use by the Diaro site
Hello,
I also use Evernote for other document storage, but I vastly prefer Diaro for "journaling". I am experimenting with writing a process that will sync Diaro files to Evernote.
In this respect, I have three questions:
1) It's not readily clear to me when looking at the XML of a Daro backup how exactly the dates/times are stored. I see a number which I thought might be the number of ticks, but I'm not entirely sure. Can you indicate how these dates/times are stored?
2) Is there any information on the sync files that would allow me to use a sync file to keep a constant sync with Evernote? (I'm using the backup file for now).
3) If I finish this process and it works, can I donate the code to you with the idea that it might become a feature in the future? In other words, I want to make it work for myself, but I would like to give it to you so that you can add it as a feature if you so desire.

Hey Paul! Just wanted to say thanks for doing this. I'm in the same boat of using Evernote for pretty much everything, but preferring a journaling app for the actual writing.
In the meantime, setting up an IFTTT channel for Dropbox > Evernote as a bandaid.
Diaro team, would love to see more support behind this!

screw Evernote.

1) Yes, Diaro saves date in UNIX time format in milliseconds.
2) Sync.diaro file is encrypted and you will not be able to decrypt it. This format will be deprecated in the next Diaro update this month.
3) We do not have plans adding sync with Evernote but we are improving Dropbox sync and will add Google Drive sync in the future. -

Actually, I think I figured out number 1 on my own. It appears that dates are stored as a number of milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970. Can you confirm? If so, then I just need answers on 2 and 3.
