This project is currently being developed for personal use and specific needs. Take this and modify it!
This project is currently alpha, with basic functionality only. Working through a long feature list
I curate a lot of videos, podcasts, and articles online for things like my personal newsletter david.garden/newsletter/, vlogs youtube.com/@BowieBarks, and Mastodon posts @david@tech.lgbt.
To do this curation I do a lot of copypasting between multiple apps and spaces. I have been wanting a tool to make it easier for me to manage my curation, and I'm finally making one!
The goal for this browser extension is to allow me to (eventually) one-click on a page and save the metadata that I use for sharing to browser storage. I can then filter and sort those links and send them where I will end up using them in the format that I want most. The goal is to save articles and save time!
Right now I'm developing this browser extension for Firefox, and will try replicating it to other browsers when it is more stable.
- Download the files and unzip them
- Open a new tab in Firefox and go to
about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefoxin your address bar - Click "Load Temporary Add-on..."
- Select the
manifest.jsonfile of the extension
- Click "Save Metadata" to save the metadata of the current tab
- Click "View Saved Metadata" to see the existing saved pages in a table
- Click the "x" button next to a row to delete it
- Click "Clear All Data" to delete all rows
- Drag and drop rows into the order that you want
- Click "Export Data" to get a json file of all data

You are free to fork this for your personal use. It is under active development and will be made for very specific needs before being generalized for anyone to use.
If you think that you come up with something that you want to share back, I'm more than happy to check it out!
