The GitHub page doesn’t explain the feature set of this. Does someone have any information? For example OneNote comes with a really good clipper already, why use this one? Personally, I have been enjoying the simplicity and portability of this Obsidian webclipper bookmarklet: https://gist.github.com/kepano/90c05f162c37cf730abb8ff027987ca3 https://gist.github.com/kepano/90c05f162c37cf730abb8ff027987...

Two Web Clipper questions: 1) Can Web Clipper be configured to clip both the image and the URL in a single operation (so you can paste both the visual and source into a doc as a single operation)? 2) Can Web Clipper (or some other tool) clip both are screenshot image and the URL for a slack message? For many years I've wanted a way to grab a both visual representation of a slack message I need to deal with or remember later and the URL for the message so I can get back to it later even if there have been more messages in that channel (when you follow a message link, slack redirects the browser to the channel url after focusing on the message, so by the time you have easy access to the content you've lost easy access to the url you want)

Can it save to local disk? How does it differ from the browser's built-in "save page as"? Does it work on video?

  It saves the page to local disk transformed to a markdown file. I've tried it and it doesn't download images though, it just generates links to the online image. If you don't mind markdown, for a good clipper I'd recommend the one from TagSpaces. It can save the page into Firefox one-file .mhtml format or plain .html, and it comes with a "simplified page" option to remove navigation. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tagspaces-web-clipper/ldalmgifdlgpiiadeccbcjojljeanhjk#:~:text=What%20is%20TagSpaces%20Web%20Clipper,tab%20area%20in%20PNG%20format https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tagspaces-web-clip....

"To anywhere" is a pretty broad claim, and no indication what that might entail. How does one save clippings to, say, Evernote? What is the significance of the links under "Support Site"? Some of those might be considered programs you can integrate with (like OneNote)? If that's the case then I guess Evernote isn't supported?

  I think that is the list of sites/services that can store the saved content. It more or less corresponds to these modules: https://github.com/webclipper/web-clipper/tree/master/src/common/backend/services https://github.com/webclipper/web-clipper/tree/master/src/co...
