After exporting an archive from Simplenote (Settings → Tools → Export
Notes) and installing this package, run `org-import-simplenote` then
select the downloaded archive. Every note (that isn't trashed) will be
imported as an Org heading, complete with the creation timestamp.

The creation timestamp is used as the headline; I might add an option
to use the first line of the note content instead, like how Simplenote
itself displays notes.

Nice work. Worked well for me, but it would be nice if you added the
option to use the first line of the note instead of the creation date.
Otherwise, I don't think I would use it routinely. Even better if you
could incorporate tags.

Wrote too hastily. Tags are there. Excellent.

Thank you!

I've added the option. If you set `org-import-simplenote-title-format`
to `first-line`, notes should now be imported like this:

    * first line
    :PROPERTIES:
    :created:  2021-12-07T23:31:25+0900
    :END:

    text content

there is also https://github.com/alpha22jp/simplenote2.el for just
editing simplenotes from emacs (and you *can* edit them using org-
mode, though the app/web page don't have any special support for the
syntax)
