I created a new plugin to support how I work with pieces of information, maybe it’s helpful for others as well. While I work I often stumble over pieces of information I don’t need yet but want to process and break it down later. To support that easy and fast I created the ReadItLater plugin.
The plugin adds a command and a button both named ‘ReadItLater: Save clipboard’.
Depending on what’s in your clipboard it:
Plain Text: creates a text note
URL: parses a website and creates a file with the content
Youtube link: creates a file with a link and the embedded video
Twitter link: embeds the information of the tweet
without further questions into the configured inbox folder and with a tag for the different types.
Hopefully, it’s helpful for someone else too.

I just found this and really like it! It creates quick, simple, markdown files of whole web pages or snippets. (I see it captures other things like tweets, too, but I’ve only just installed it and tested it in chrome. It’s perfect for what I was looking for. Thank you!
I love the plugin! For the “new features suggestion box”: a browser extension that, with a click, ships the URL of the webpage you are on (i.e. a text article) through the process and directly into the ReadItLater Inbox without having to perform the ‘copy-open_Obsidian-execute’ process. Possible?
