Easiest way to save content on my local Obsidian vault, giving me the power to have more context and ideas linked on it. Loving, also, how is being maintained and improving day by day!

This is a must have for any Obsidian user who brings website information into their vault. It is as close to frictionless as it gets for onboarding new content. Today, they added a sticky sidebar that allows you to edit the content before sending it to your local Obsidian vault. A read it later killer in my book. Cheers Obsidian!
