Web Page Clipping Tool
Motivations
The internet is a treasure trove of valuable information, but sadly, it is far more ephemeral than many of us were led to believe 20 years ago. Browser Extensions like SingleFile alleviate this problem by allowing for the easy saving of portions of or even entire web pages, though they fall short of integrating well with the desktop environment. Clip aims to bridge this gap.
Description
Clip brings deeper integration of SingleFile with the desktop by harnessing the power of TextBundles. It consists of three parts:
