Mike Schmidt (ID: 000000a806dfac20) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/22/2019 Simple and productive. Just like nvALT. No need for all the fancy bloated features of other clippers.

Frank S. (ID: 000000104dbd397f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/23/2019 Saving selections fails to capture links contained in the selection. Instead of using a context menu item to save a selection, it would be smarter to have the main button check if there is a an active selection and save it, and if not, fall back to the whole page. A keyboard shortcut to trigger the saving would be much appreciated.
