Full summary

Instapaper is a simple tool for saving web pages to read later on your iPhone, iPad, Android, computer, or Kindle.

This browser extension may be used in place of the bookmarklet to save articles directly into your Instapaper queue.

It works by saving the current tab to your Instapaper account . Users who aren't logged in will be taken to a login or signup page, after completing the process they will be redirected back to the original page with the original page saved in their queue.

This extension offers an easy way to highlight text on a web page and import it to note-taking apps like Roam Research, Obsidian, Logseq or Notion in the format that best suits your workflow.

This is especially helpful of you are doing research, want to build your own knowledge-base or just want to save your favorite blog articles.

FEATURES: → Easily highlight any text on a web page → Add tags to bring your highlights into context → Customise the format of your copied highlights with placeholders → Jump to the next open Roam Research tab, to quickly insert your highlight

HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT THE EXTENSION? The quickest way to launch the extension is with a hotkey (e.g CMD + SHIFT + R). You can set a hotkey in the Chrome Settings for Extensions. Next you can create your own format for the highlights, by going into the widget settings. Play around with the placeholders and use spaces to indent content.
