Synapse Web Clipper од Danny Peck

Click the toolbar icon, pick a repo, confirm the filename — and the page is extracted, converted to Markdown, and pushed as a commit via the GitHub API. Perfect for personal knowledge bases, reading lists, research archives, or any workflow built on a Git repo of Markdown notes.

Features

• Clean content extraction using Mozilla Readability (strips nav, ads, footers)
• HTML-to-Markdown conversion via Turndown (fenced code blocks, ATX headings)
• YAML frontmatter with title, source URL, byline, and save timestamp
• Configure multiple repositories, each with its own branch and default folder
• Smart filename suggestions (date + page title slug), fully editable per save
• Updates existing files instead of failing if the same path already exists

How it works

1. Create a GitHub personal access token (classic repo scope, or fine-grained with Contents: read and write).
2. Open the extension's Options page, paste your token, and add one or more repositories.
3. On any page, click the toolbar icon, pick a repo, and save.

Privacy

Your token is stored locally in browser storage and is only ever sent to api.github.com. No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party servers. Page
content is only transmitted when you explicitly click save, and only to the GitHub repository you configured.
