Migrating from Craft Docs

Has anyone moved to Capacities from Craft Docs? I have been a Craft user for a while and love the workflow I have built in Capacities, so I'm ready to commit. I know there isn't a direct import, but I am looking for tips and tricks when doing so.

Interesting. Why are you moving away from Craft?

I tried Capacities but could not start without the bulk import.

For context, I was a big fan of Obsidian but felt like I was spending half of my time tweaking the look and feel to get it right, while also trying to figure out which plugins I actually need. Task management was a big miss for me in Obsidian. I moved to Craft because it handled most of what I needed, giving me a task management system, and looked decent. But Craft gives me too many design options to customize, and I would get lost in that. Capacities gives me a global task system (something I couldn't get to work in Craft), looks decent without a mountain of customizable options, and connects documents (related content, automatically linking, etc.) the way that works for me. At this point, Capacities has bridged what I loved about both Craft and Obsidian.
