Article_2_Markdown by bruno_menon

Article → Markdown

Effortlessly convert web articles into clean, formatted Markdown text for your notes, documentation, or personal archive.

"Article → Markdown" is a lightweight and privacy-focused extension designed to streamline your reading and archiving workflow. With a single click, it declutters web pages, removing ads, sidebars, and popups, to extract only the main content. It then instantly converts that content into Markdown format, ready to be used in tools like Obsidian, Notion, VS Code, or any text editor.
Key Features

Smart Extraction: Automatically detects the main article content on a page and strips away unnecessary HTML, scripts, and styling.
Instant Preview & Edit: Review the generated Markdown directly within the extension popup. You can make manual edits, corrections, or add notes before saving.
Customizable Filename: The extension automatically suggests a filename based on the article title, but allows you to modify it to suit your naming conventions.

One-Click Export:
Copy to Clipboard: Perfect for quickly pasting into a note-taking app.
Download .md File: Save the article locally for offline archiving.
Developer Friendly: Keeps code blocks and basic formatting intact, making it ideal for saving technical tutorials and documentation.
