User reviews
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.
