This looks great, but unfortunately unless Apple releases a way of exporting notes (including images, styling and categories), I will not be able to use this.

I have hundreds of documents within Apple Notes, and as far as I know there is no public API to get them out. :(

There is a public API to get them out on the Mac — the Notes app is scriptable via AppleScript. You could loop through folders, notes, and attachments to get things pretty close to where they are in the app.
