Introduction
I started with the reddit post here.
From there, installed ollama and downloaded the recommended "qwen3-vl:8b".
But there was no easy way to interface with the model, so i found sn2md.
Using these two tools together, I was able to set up a really nice workflow for converting my .note files to .md
