Hi hn! I'm so happy to get this finished and out the door that I'm giving away some free exports. Use the promo code HACKERNEWS on the products page (after login) to get a free export. It's good for the first 25 people that use it.

Please let me know your feedback. I'm hoping this is a useful tool that will provide some value for people. If it proves to be popular, it could then be expanded to other services, etc...

View on HN

Looks great. Please consider a [tumblr](http://tumblr.com/) to [scriptogr.am](http://scriptogr.am/) export.

I'd happily pay $20 for that (and we all know HN comment anecdote is evidence).

Why do you need one for scriptogr.am? don't you already have the source in your dropbox with that?

Edit: Sorry misread the to scriptogr.am

I want to migrate to scriptogr.am, but after a weekend of failed attempts modifying [Jekyll Blog Migration scripts][github], I was giving the free market (and my laziness) a nudge.

While posterous demise makes tumblr the winner of the space, I do think its social features/direction really gets in the way for those that just want a simple and fast blog.

Some more links for anyone interested hint, hint, wink, wink:

thanks for getting this out there. my export is underway. just a quick note, after i signed up with the code it took me to a page that basically said i was done. but what i really needed to do was click on my name in the header, then click home, then click export or something like that. which actually took me a bit to figure out. an opportunity for clearer instructions or big colorful buttons.

hmm, thanks for the feedback. i'll see if i can improve the flow there.
