Show HN: OmSave – Safari Extension for OmniFocus on macOS
- bosie 6y agoDo you plan on creating a firefox extension?
- dsabanin 6y agoUnfortunately, I don't. I'm not using Firefox right now and I don't have enough time to work on it. There's also no marketplace for the extensions. Sorry!
- navait 6y agoThis isn’t for me, but I am curious how you integrate things into OmniFocus
- dsabanin 6y agoThey have a pretty powerful omnifocus:// URL-based API.
- timwis 6y agoI’m a long time user of OmniFocus but I’m not sure I understand the use case: do you often save web pages as tasks?
- dsabanin 6y agoIt's a matter of personal workflow, but I do it all the time. I try to add tasks for things that I want or need to read, including work-related stuff, like Basecamp posts that require my response, so that I actually get to them. The goal, for me, is to not get distracted by reading things when I should be doing things, so I try to postpone the reading until a more appropriate moment. However, to do that without stress, I need to be able to trust the system enough to know that I'm definitely going to get to that reading later – during a review, or earlier. I noticed that if I don't have a task for links to read, I end up either reading them right away (damn FOMO) or they disappear into a black hole, because there's just too much stuff in my head to remember everything.
- bosie 6y agoI do it all the time too. OF acts as 'read-it-later' service for me, at least for the sites/products i want to check later when i have more time/want to relax
- sgt 6y agoI didn't actually know about OmniFocus. It looks amazing. Might buy it tonight.
- immy 6y agoWhat you built is fine. I’m curious where the customers will come from. Tried search ads on Mac App Store? At $3.99 you should at least break even
- dsabanin 6y agoRight now I'm not thinking that far ahead. I scratched my own itch and I'm glad someone else found it useful. I'll see about those ads though, thanks for the tip!
- boztek 6y agoWhat does this do that the provided clipping feature does not?
- dsabanin 6y agoPre-fills the page title, meta description, attach a screenshot, or headline image, and allows you to preselect tags/project to attach the clipping to automatically.
