Highlight and Copy as Markdown.
Minimal Highlighter Extension
🚀 Built for power users, who spend time reading on the internet and want to quickly highlight and save key ideas / quotes to platforms such as Notion, Obsidian, Roam, etc.
📖 Don't interrupt your reading flow. Simply highlight while reading and then click the extension icon to copy all the highlights to clipboard (as markdown) once you're done. Paste the markdown and preserve formatting!
Features:
- Use Command+H to highlight selected text
- Click on the extension icon to copy all highlights as markdown (to easily paste into your knowledge-management application)
- No personal data collected, No need to sign-in
Motivation:
I'm an avid reader. I built this because none of the existing highlighter extensions properly \"merge\" the highlights, resulting in a frustrating experience when copying all highlights, as the overlapped portions are copied multiple times. They are also not able to highlight and copy headings and formatted text (e.g. italics, bold, links, etc.) properly.
