Webclipper for Obsidian LiveSync

Obsidian LiveSync Webclip is a powerful Chrome extension that allows you to clip web pages directly into markdown format and send them seamlessly to your Obsidian vault via Obsidian LiveSync. This tool lets you preserve online content locally, enabling you to organize, annotate, and enrich your notes with your own comments.

The extension captures images along with text, making it possible to access your clipped content even offline. It's built with privacy in mind, being fully open-source and self-hosted, giving you complete control over your data. Note that using the extension requires an Obsidian setup and either your own server or compatible SaaS account, with necessary configurations for Cloudant or CouchDB instances to support CORS from your clipped URLs. For more details, visit the project's GitHub repository.

This tool was the missing piece for me to move away from Evernote. There is some setup that needs to happen for this tool to work (couchDB), but that is aligned with how I want to store/host my data (myself) so it's worth the few minutes to set things up. Many thanks to the developer of this tool.

This is not working. It cannot even clip a simple webpage which has no images and no complex math expressions. Improve this extension and make it work.
