Synapse Web Clipper

About

Click the toolbar icon, pick a repo, confirm the filename — and the page is extracted, converted to Markdown, and pushed as a commit via the GitHub API. Perfect for personal knowledge bases, reading lists, research archives, or any workflow built on a Git repo of Markdown notes.

Features

- Clean content extraction using Mozilla Readability (strips nav, ads, footers)
- HTML-to-Markdown conversion via Turndown (fenced code blocks, ATX headings)
- YAML frontmatter with title, source URL, byline, and save timestamp
- Configure multiple repositories, each with its own branch and default folder
- Smart filename suggestions (date + page title slug), fully editable per save
- Updates existing files instead of failing if the same path already exists

How it works

- Create a GitHub personal access token (classic repo scope, or fine-grained with Contents: read and write).
- Open the extension's Options page, paste your token, and add one or more repositories.
- On any page, click the toolbar icon, pick a repo, and save.
