Share Extension?

[odysseus90210]

Describe your feature request It would be great to see a Safari extension that would allow the clipping of web pages.

Additional context Both for Mac OS and iOS

You can already do this on macOS:

for Selected Text

for Clipboard Contents

Hi,

I’m not completely sure I understand. Do you mean that FSNotes works with services so that I can “send” a web page from Safari to it?

Best, Marc

Yes.

It would be nice if FS Notes had an app extension and appeared in the “Share” menu.

I agree. Would be useful for macOS and iOS.

@glushchenko are you considering implementing this anytime soon?

[gingerbeardman]

Did you try the solutions posted above @rc979 ?

Thread necromancy, but it seems this is the most likely place someone will come land if they're trying to use the services:

The "Add Selection as Markdown" service/quick-action does not seem to work with semi-modern versions of MacOS -- python version problem.

A viable solution is to install the html2text module and replace the entire Python block that previously implemented the html2txt code in the automator workflow, with the following snippet. It remains up to the user to get python into /user/local/bin/ or to add their local python installation to the shells.plist that controls what's available to automator. While a sloppy solution, a symlink from your local python3 executable to /usr/local/bin/python may work.

import html2text import sys

if name == "main": baseurl = '' data = sys.stdin.read() sys.stdout.write(html2text.html2text(data, baseurl))
