Tried #Obsidian webclipper. It's so simple and seamless I can cry lol.
If I want to use it as a "Read it later" app, all I have to do is just access my vault (which is in OneDrive, synced to my devices) via my simple Markdown app. But since I don't want to keep all the articles I want read later, I'll just go back to using Pocket as a Read it Later app. Simple!

I didn't catch on to how easy webclipper is until I tried again just now. I was using MarkDownload, but I see that it may soon no longer be supported. I do like the way I can see what is being captured prior to saving the page. Also noticed that it has a way to highlight and save only a portion.

@ajlewis2 yup it's perfect for my needs! If I want to read it in my ereader,I just need to compile the articles with Longform, and then output it as an epub with Pandoc. Its pretty cool and easy

I hadn't heard of Longform plugin for Obsidian. I use Pandoc in CLI often, but forgot I'd installed the plugin in Obsidian. I just made a hotkey to create epub and I'm all set to use your process! Thanks. Good way to catch up on articles for bedtime reading.

@ajlewis2 yup yup. I am in heaven. I can now read webnovels effortlessly

@liztai

Did you have any trouble using Longform? I did "Create Longform Project" in the directory where the notes I want to use are located. A new folder was created with an index file inside. There is a property "?longform" and nothing else. No project is seen in the longform panel. I have a feeling that property with the question mark means there is a problem.

Does your index file have the same property in it?

@liztai

I uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin and also restarted Obsidian. Some of that process fixed the problem so that I see the panel and compiled the project. The property line does look the same, so that was not an issue.

@ajlewis2 the index file doesn't seem to work for me either, but I manage to compile the docs without any problem into one manuscript. From that manuscript generated, I Pandoc it into epub

@liztai

It's working fine now that I can see the sidebar with the project, scenes section to add items, compile button etc. I use pandoc within Obsidian to generate the epub.

@ajlewis2 Yea the UI isn't very intuitive I have to say lol
