A way to convert IPython Notebooks to Quiver notes would certainly be useful (as would the other way around). Searching ipython notebooks for code is a nightmare.

edit: good work btw, I'm not completely sold on this solution but I do think there's a problem here. I'm pretty invested in evernote but think this has potential.

That is a good idea. IPython Notebook was another inspiration for Quiver. Since Quiver uses an simple JSON format for data files, it's easy to write a script to convert IPython notebooks to Quiver notebooks. I don't yet have importer scripts, but I have written some exporter scripts here, and you get the idea. https://github.com/HappenApps/Quiver/wiki/Export-Scripts

I made a quick and dirty script to convert markdown to quiver already but unfortunately have a ton on my plate right now.

This basically just splits it on ```code``` blocks and only supports python at the moment, but could be a resource for others.

Wow, that's fast. Appreciate that. Added to Quiver wiki.

It would be cool if it executed the code like IPython as well.

That would be cool, but would make the app more complicated. Think about all the other languages. You would have to include tons of runtimes. It's better to leave that to other apps/frameworks/tools.

I like to keep Quiver simple and lightweight. Quiver app is only 8MB unzipped, while Evernote is over 160MB unzipped.
