markdownload

Nice work, I currently use Markdownload (https://github.com/deathau/markdownload) for this but will certainly give this a good shake out. Kudos for making it a Firefox and not just Google extension as well.

I'll stick with using Markdownload (https://github.com/deathau/markdownload) when I need to do something like this.

This fork: https://github.com/deathau/markdownload With extension available for Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Safari.

My choice (manual): Markdown clipper https://github.com/deathau/markdown-clipper I guess there are dozens of alternative extensions available out there …

I'll quote my old post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38421121 „My perfect bookmark manager is Markdownload https://github.com/deathau/markdownload Just save the complete page, only selected text or only the link to a markdown file or Obsidian. With downloaded, linked or without pictures. My OS and Obsidian can search those files, they have more (automatically added) metadata. I can even edit them in the browser: add your thoughts, tags or change the name of the file before they are saved. I can (automatically) do with them what ever I need. They can be used to (automatically) generate an always up to date start page or a data vault on GitHub. My local AI assistant can parse them. Local, versatile, permanent, flexible, cost effective, future save. No need for a bookmark manager.“

> Not really. Obsidian has its shares of problems too, and most of them originate from using Markdown. Aha. Which problems do you mean? > Markdown is a freeform text-format, and works very well for writing text, but it really sucks for data and structured content. Joplin is using md to. And if Joplin does a good job on "data" and "structured content" (whatever you mean by that) by separating that in their DB, it's a big NO for me since it's a closed silo. This: https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview works so wonderful for me, and it never breaks anything in my simple md files. > Most plugins and features in that area are very brittle and overspecialized, working only well enough in their specific use case. Aha. I don't think so. Which authority says that? And even if It's like that, my markdown files would survive everything, s

Yes and no. Instead of PDF, use Markdownload (on iOS, use a Safari web content to markdown file extension): https://github.com/deathau/markdownload And save in a journaled folder like "YYYY-MM-DD - Page Title.md" with a YAML frontmatter of all available metadata. Have this as a folder in your PKM of choice (Obsidian, Foam, whatever). These days, point some text embedding at it, and let it generate your own LLM brain. But you can also static-site-generate that back into your own web knowledge site or base. If you don't need it locally, and depending on the capture you want, consider pinboard.in or historio.us: https://pinboard.in/ https://historio.us/

I tried many note-taking apps and finally settled on Notable[0]. It's simple and you can point it to a folder with markdown files and attachments. Plus, you can just sync the folder using any syncing service, and use Noteless[1] on Android. The tagging support is superb, you can cross-link notes, render math using katex, and export to pdf. Because of the simple folder structure, you can also use vim+fzf to search/navigate/create/edit your notes. The notational-fzf-vim plugin[2] is superb for that. For web-clipping, I just use the markdownload[3] extension in firefox and save the markdown file in the notes folder. Why not joplin? Mostly because joplin stores notes in an sqlite database instead of a simple folder structure making it not easily accessible by normal unix tools and editors. Why not obsidian? Was never able to grok obsidian. Po

Looking at the link you gave does not help much in seeing what DiskerNet does and looks like, neither. Keeping it simple, I download pages in Markdown adding some metadata (some tags). When I want images or more I use singlefile extension. Add Recoll to the mix and that's all I need. https://github.com/deathau/markdownload https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile https://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/pages/index-recoll.htm...

Consider using the Markdownload extension to save clean content formatted as markdown (.md) files to your PKM of choice. Firefox / Chrome: https://github.com/deathau/markdownload Safari on MacOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/markdownload/id1554029832?mt=1... For iOS, use Toolbox Pro for Shortcuts and search for or create a Safari to Markdown file stored in the PKM's inbox. (Or Orion browser with extensions.)

The reason I don't use bookmarks in browsers is that I can't stash a copy of the page for offline use and I need to properly categorize it for it to be usable later. The best way I've found is to use the MarkDownload[1] extension for firefox, and download a markdown version of the page into my notable[2] folder. That way, a markdown version of the page I'm interested in becomes part of my notes, becomes taggable, searchable, gets synced, etc. And I don't need to spend time properly categorizing it. All the bookmarked sites and their content become fuzzy-searchable (fzf). Very convenient. 1. https://github.com/deathau/markdownload 2. https://notable.app
