Looks great, and in the context of Checkvist, positioning the Web Clipper as a tool to collect “things to do” from different sources (Gmail, GitHub Issues, and more), makes a lot of sense to me, and more sense than “collecting content, à-la Instapaper”, that I had originally imagined.
Now, do you have any plans to support the web clipper on browsers other than Chrome, for instance Safari? Or maybe creating a bookmarklet for browsers other than Chrome? Is everything you are doing in the extension possible with a simple bookmarklet?
Last time I checked, writing extensions for Safari was not a simple task, and given that it uses < 10% of active users - we’d hardly move into this way. Web Clipper works in Chrome and Firefox.
A simple bookmarklet is a no-go these days, when sites often implement Content-Security-Policy which disallow bookmarklets access the content of the web page - and without it, it is hardly possible to do things like extracting title of the Zendesk/Jira issue.
I didn’t realize that the Content-Security-Policy also applied to bookmarklets. And I understand that with less than 10% of the users impacted, creating a Safari extension isn’t a priority. Tough, but makes sense.
Hi,
the Web Clipper doesn’t recognise the subject from an e-mail if the split view is enabled in GMail. It only works when the mail is opened from the list view.
