If you use Obsidian and want to save content from the web, you've probably tried a web clipper. Web2MD, WebInk, MarkDownload — they all do roughly the same thing: convert a webpage's HTML into Markdown.

That's useful. But it's not the same as taking notes.

What web clippers actually give you

You paste in an article URL, and you get back one Markdown file. The file is the article — its structure, its headings, its paragraphs — just in Markdown format instead of HTML.

What you don't get:

Identified concepts worth keeping

Atomic note structure

YAML frontmatter

Connections between concepts ( [[wikilinks]] )

Notes you can actually search and reuse
