| 2024-12-05 |  | | zh | 非常强大，支持自定义收藏模板，同时还支持反查笔记提示是否存在笔记。不想导入证书就使用 HTTP |
| 2024-11-28 |  | | en | Holy Carp! This extension is incredible and works FLAWLESSLY. Massive thank you to the developer for producing this masterpiece!! |
| 2024-10-20 |  | | en | For those saying that it DOESN'T work with Arc browser-you're WRONG and it does work. Follow the steps in the setup but make sure to do the final few TWICE and trust me it works like a charm. I used instructions found by another reviewer on here and am very happy with it |
| 2024-09-04 |  | | en | Can tell this is a well-made plugin but unfortunately it doesn't work with Arc browser... I got the Local REST plugin, figured out the cert (I'm on a Mac), even changed shortcut to launch this extension, but pressing the button doesn't seem to do anything... Arc as a browser does some weird stuff with plugins, I bet this is another instance of that |
| 2024-06-05 |  | | zh | 非常好，简单易用 |
| 2024-05-28 |  | | zh | 非常强大的一个插件。不过我在安装证书时遇到一个坑。安装完证书后还是提示无法连接。解决办法时把API Key删了再重新输入一次，刷新保存设置就可以了。 |
| 2024-05-25 |  | | en | Awesome plugin, and might want to put the link to your wiki up front to link people the instructions to your SSL certificate. took me a while :P but i got it in the end. Wiki > https://github.com/coddingtonbear/obsidian-web/wiki/How-do-I-get-my-browser-trust-my-Obsidian-Local-REST-API-certificate%3F Thank you for making this! |
| 2024-05-19 |  | | en | OMG, I love it. When I first installed the extension, I didn’t take the time to learn how to configure it, and the default behavior wasn’t what I was looking for. But I took a second pass at it and realized it’s far more powerful than the Evernote extension I’m replacing (#metoo). I’m a web developer, so I was comfortable configuring it, but I can see how it would be daunting to a layman. I was able to configure my own simple rule for saving the link and title to a custom note in my vault. I’m also using the ‘save to daily note’ feature. Very nice. And I just discovered its ability to identify pages that you have already included in your vault, which is genius. And it also introduced me to the REST API plugin, which will now allow me to do other integrations with Obsidian. Very nice work. |
| 2024-05-10 |  | | en | Neat idea. Poor execution. Will work once and then one successive tabs/browser instances it will never work again unless you remove everything and set up the API key again. This is on the latest version of the Local REST API and the latest version of the Web clipper I see on similar reviews the developer is telling people to read the forums but the forums are just the developer again asking if the people with the problems are sure things are set up correctly Yes, this is set up correctly, yes this is the latest version of the clipper and REST API, yet this isn't working for more than a couple of clips because as soon as the browser is relaunched, it never works again |
