Description
This is an extension to clip websites and download them into a readable markdown file. Please keep in mind that it is not guaranteed to work on all websites.
To use this add-on, simply click the add-on icon while you are browsing the page you want to save offline. A popup will show the rendered markdown so you can make minor edits or copy the text, or you can click the download button to download an .md file.
Selecting text will allow you to download just the selected text
## Context Menus
You can also right-click on pages, images, links and selections to copy or download snippets of Markdown.
You can also download all tabs in a window as Markdown files

Ratings and Reviews
95% there
This is an excellent addition to my Obsidian workflow and makes website capture very easy. Getting files into the Obsidian vault just requires a couple of relatively easy steps using Automator to move files.
One slight drawback right now is that the option to use 'Selected Text' or 'Entire Document' from the pop up does not currently work, which means an extra step to insert your own thoughts rather than doing it from the pop up.
Must-have for markdown users
This is a must-have tool for any users of markdown tools such as Noteplan and Obsidian. The "Download All Tabs as Markdown" feature is a massive time-saver. I recommend pairing with Hazel so that you can automatically move your clipped files into the system folder required for your preferred app.
Does what I need but...
... it's a massive resource hog, running at 50% of CPU, all the time!
