@smurfman111
I’m finding your Roam-highlighter tool really excellent for my workflow in Obsidian. One request:
In the settings it is possible to set a custom bullet style. Could we please have a custom bullet style (or front matter) for the title? What I’d like is for the title to be in a checkmark (- [ ]) and the highlights to be regular bullets (-). Thanks for considering this.

Very useful, thank you! Is it correct that you can only choose one header at a time?

[edit]: Actually, it seems like when I select something and choose ALT + A it will always go back and choose the title of the article instead of what I selected… I may be doing something wrong, I’m not sure.

The Roam-Highlighter is brilliant, but I’ve been consciously trying to de-Google myself of late. Are there any approaches recommended for the Safari browser on macOS?

You can try Brave or Vivaldi as privacy aware browsers. Still Chromium but not Google otherwise.

There was another thread where there was a request for death.au to make a Safari version of his downloader.

Wow everyone! I am so sorry! Somehow I stopped getting notifications for new posts here! I found some time to make some updates to my highlighter this week (first time in several months). Should be updated in next few days.

I will try and go through and answer all the posts I missed this weekend!

Edit: figured out why I never got notified!!

Oops replied to wrong post a few minutes ago! :slight_smile:

@plannermouse can you record a GIF and show me? If not, a screenshot.

You need to highlight something, then select any text within that highlight (yellow) and then press Alt+A. Then it turns red and becomes header. Everything will be indented under that header.

Then if you want another header later just do the same thing and stuff will now be indented under it for anything highlighted after it.

@icebear you can already change the bullet type/style in the settings. But you cannot for the title (link of the page). So what I’m hearing as the request would be to have a setting where you could always add some text to the front of the Link (first bullet)? So you could add your text that creates a checkbox then. Does that sound correct?

I am already thinking of adding option for placeholder settings which would allow this. You will be able to format how the title bullet shows up (or even if you want it removed). Example: - [ ] {date} - {time} - [{page title}]({URL Link}) #roam-highlights [[need-to-read]]

Thoughts? Would that give you desired outcome?

#61

@icebear here is Github issue I opened for that idea on custom placeholder formatting of the title link parent block.

#62

@Kuncy I finally made some updates this week. Release coming in next few days. See this github issue I think explaining your request and it is now fixed!

@Michael so happy to hear it helped you with your kindle notes and highlights! I know it was a while ago but did you run into any issues? Sounds like an awesome stress test for my tool :wink: and if you didn’t have any problems I will be very very happy!

@lexane late to the party here sorry! Is there a link to where personal kindle document highlights and notes get stored? I can try and take a look. Thanks!

#65

This would be great.

#66

Hi! Also late to the party :slight_smile: It’s all in the “My Clippings” file on the Kindle as far as I know

#67

@icebear update is out!! Check it out and let me know if I hit the mark!

#68

HUGE update v2.0.2! Haven’t updated in several months. Here is a quick list of some of the new features / changes. Will be making a demo vide this week. Spread the word to your friends :wink:

  • Auto Highlight Mode: When turned on, just select text and it will auto highlight instead of requiring Ctrl + X
  • can choose to remove links from pages (wikipedia annoying with all the links)
  • can add ellipsis at start and end if you choose when you highlight something mid sentence to show you didn’t highlight the whole sentence.
  • Dynamic parent page title / link creation with placeholders
  • Optimization for copying Slack conversations
  • Optimization for copying Github Issue comments
  • Custom date string formatting
  • Side window now loads in iframe which prevents native CSS from a webpage from affecting RH side window
  • Fixed kindle highlights extraction for German users

My extension in Firefox hasn’t update yet, but I look forward to trying it out once it does!

#70

@icebear bummer! Firefox I haven’t been able to update because they have stop supporting some key items that I am using in the new update. I will try to figure it out. If you want to test out the new updates I encourage you to try Chrome :slight_smile:

Hi @smurfman111 !

Thanks you for that ! It’s great !
Just a little suggestion.
Could you consider that the text capture area could be windowed? This would allow you to move the window when working with two screens.
For people working with Vivaldi, it would allow to juxtapose the windows or even to put it in a panel. That would be super useful!
Thank you for your work!

Hi all, quite late to the party, but does the extension bypass the kindle highlight export limits?
