Recently I was getting to know Facebook discontinued its Notes feature for Individuals and Pages. I have a few Facebook notes and need to move them to another live blog platform, e.g. Medium. But there is no way to import from Facebook with the help of Medium’s import functionality . The only possible solution is to manually create a story, copy a note’s content, and set a date to the original publication date.

The trickier step is keeping the original publication date. Below is how I propose to do this.

Frankfurt. Sunday. “White collars” are resting on their only day off the week, but I am running. Faster than ever before. I overtake a hundred people, fly onto the red carpet of the Festhalle Messe — the finish line under a bright dome. Behind me is a 42 km 195 m distance covered in 3 hours 15 minutes . The “marathon” goal is achieved.

Like in a typical repo, this blog has its first git commit:

git commit --allow-empty --message "Initial commit"
