  X2Markdown is a lightweight Chrome extension that helps you turn x.com posts into clean, readable Markdown in one step.
  
  Once installed, you can right-click a supported post on x.com and copy it as Markdown for research, note-taking, writing, archiving, and content collection workflows.
  
  Key features:
  - Copy posts as Markdown from tweet detail pages
  - Right-click and copy the current post directly from the timeline
  - Extract author, handle, publish time, post URL, and post body
  - Preserve quoted-post structure when available
  - Include image links for easier archiving
  - Automatically expand truncated posts before copying when “Show more” is available
  - Runtime UI supports both Chinese and English
  
  Great for:
  - Saving x.com content into Obsidian, Notion, Logseq, or local notes
  - Archiving research material, news references, and market observations
  - Preparing clean source material for writing, translation, or summarization
  - Keeping quoted-post context in a reusable format
  
  Why use it:
  - Fast and simple right-click workflow
  - Clean Markdown output that is easy to edit
  - Built around stable page structures where possible
  - Processes the current page locally in your browser
  
  Current limitations:
  - Focused on x.com post extraction
  - Videos and GIFs are not exported as playable media files
  - Some posts may stop working if x.com changes its page structure significantly
  
  This is an open-source project.

  X2Markdown is a lightweight Chrome extension that converts visible webpage content into clean Markdown with one right-click — ready to paste into LLM conversations, personal knowledge bases, or note-taking tools.
  
  It works on any webpage, and provides dedicated extraction for x.com posts and longform articles.
  
  Key features:
  - Right-click any webpage to copy the article body as Markdown
  - Selection-first: select text to copy just that portion, or copy the full page when there is no selection
  - Generic webpage mode extracts title, site name, author, publish time, body, and image links
  - Powered by Mozilla Readability for reliable article extraction across blogs, docs, forums, and issue pages
  - On x.com, extract posts with author, handle, time, URL, body, quoted posts, and image links
  - Support for X Article and longform reading views with full body and inline images
  - Right-click any visible post card in x.com timelines, lists, and search results
  - Automatically expand truncated posts before copying
  - Images output as links for easy archiving
  - Runtime UI supports both English and Simplified Chinese
  
  Great for:
  - Feeding structured content into LLM chats (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.)
  - Building Markdown knowledge bases in Obsidian, Notion, Logseq, or local folders
  - Archiving research material, news references, and social media posts
  - Preparing clean source material for writing, translation, or summarization
  
  Why use it:
  - Works on any webpage, not just x.com
  - Fast right-click workflow with no extra UI
  - Clean Markdown output that preserves document structure
  - Minimal permissions — no site-wide host access required
  - Processes everything locally in your browser
  
  Current limitations:
  - Generic mode works best on article-style pages; homepages and navigation pages may need selection mode
  - x.com extraction may break if the page structure changes significantly
  - Videos, GIFs, and polls are not exported
  - Does not bypass login walls, paywalls, or unrendered content
  
  This is an open-source project.
