Joplin – A note-taking and to-do app with builds for desktop, mobile, terminal

This looks great. I hope you might prioritize adding a web clipper. For me, the Evernote Web Clipper plugin/extension is the killer app. The rest of Evernote isn't great, but their web clipper is incredibly useful to me.

I used Evernote for years before bothering with the web clipper, but when I started running into dead links in my years-old notes I realized it was essential. Now I use it pretty often to make sure that a note doesn't become impossible to understand because its context is gone. It's also great for recipes, which I often find on personal blogs and other sites where you can't depend on a link being permanent.

My Evernote file is over 20GB, thanks to Web Clipper. I've saved everything from recipe to interesting articles, dating back almost 10 years ago. For me, it is cool to be able to save web pages without worrying that the page / link will disappear in the future.

The only other alternative is DevonThink, which is pricey, but well worth its cost.

pinboard.in does it for $25 a year.

> For a small annual fee, Pinboard can download and store a copy of every page you bookmark, for your own private use.

Enabling archiving will also enable full-text search for your bookmarks. How does it work?

Each time you save a bookmark, or put something on your toread list, Pinboard will crawl the URL and store a permanent copy of the page to your account.

Firefox with Pocket does that as well, without requiring additional software. Since my Kobo E-reader has support for Pocket I can even read the articles there. Firefox Reader is great for readability as well.

I like to use DEVONthink a few times to save pages on Mac (Mac only), but agree with other poster. Pinboard is only $25/yr for full archiving. So helpful.

The web clipper is the killer app for me as well. I've been looking for a replacement for a long time and thus far have found nothing comparable that is open, self-hostable, cross-platform & syncable, and saves web media or pdf natively. I will also kick in to a Patreon if a web clipper is promised.

Guys if you're looking for a Web Clipper feature alternative my friend made a dedicated service called PageDash recently. Check it out! https://pagedash.com

Yes, Evernote is pretty clunky but I’ve got a good 8 years of junk in in and that web clipper is a beast.

The web clipper is Evernote's core product. It hasn't been replicated commercially or in open source successfully.

I enjoy using OneNote's web clipper: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/onenote-web-clippe...

I've tried many times to switch to OneNote, but the clipper often fails to capture pages. That rarely happens with Evernote.
