The approach does maybe not allow all features one could wish for, but it could be easier than writing browser-extensions which could additionally be done later. Second milestone: Joplin can retrieve the contents of the URL and save them somehow inside a note (maybe useful for this:, ).I guess this is enough in many cases, in some cases even better than saving the content. First milestone: When sharing a page with Joplin the URL of the page will simply be saved as content of a note (like a bookmark).#110 (not sure if iOS has a share-feature like Android) Support Joplin as target for sharing content in other apps as proposed in Please give the ability to share from another Android app into Joplin.I propose the following alternative approach: This enhancement is one of the most important ones for me, too. GPLA license so most likely cannot be used.įor now it seems the only option is to create a browser extension from scratch. Can clip whole page, text selection, and screenshot of visible area. ✘ However most of the work is done by closed source Augmentation API :( Browser extension requirements Required features This API can then be used from any extension to create notes from clipped content. a screenshot) and create a new note from this. On Joplin side, the desktop and CLI app will start a mini-server that can receive a note and a file (eg. I'm thinking it doesn't need to be a web clipper extension, just anything that can take a screenshot of a page or save HTML content would work. If you know of any good existing extension that could be used, please post here and I'll add it to the list. The missing part really would be a good existing browser extension that we could use to clip content.įor now, I'm putting the spec below along with the extension requirements. On Joplin side, the mini-server mentioned below can be done easily. I had a quick look at this feature and it seems almost do-able. If there's interest, here's a working proof of concept Chrome extension for a similar OSS project. Since Electron is already being used, assuming it would be easy to render the HTML? Storing as HTML makes it portable/easily exportable, in line with project goals. The important part is having the text and images saved, which can be indexed for search in Joplin. Some pages don't render correctly in the Evernote app, but it does a good-enough job for most URLs. I believe Evernote parses the HTML, and injects any CSS inline into a single HTML file. works asynchronously, allowing person to continue browsing without having to wait for saving to complete.ignores JS, bypassing security concerns.clips a web page with full formatting: HTML, CSS, images.

Similar to Evernote's clipper, but just the key parts: This would mean one place to store, search and retrieve research and notes. It would be super useful to easily save web content into Joplin via browser extensions.
