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...

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

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.
