As a Mac – and Safari – user, I’m wondering about the lack of a Safari webclipper extension. I looked into the GitHub page and this forum, but didn’t found any request for it.
Is there any reason why a Safari extension was not developed yet, or there was simply no interest for it in the community? I think that clipping from Safari would be a rather useful addition and help to diffuse Joplin among Mac users.
I can’t code, but I volunteer for testing, if needed.
For now I’m trying to create an AppleScript that will pull the page out of Safari and add it as a note using Joplin CLI. (Unfortunately I can’t get Joplin CLI installed.)
I might try writing an extension at some point.
Joplin looks like a great app, and I think if it had more integration with browsers and the OS then it would be a fantastic replacement for Evernote etc. I was hoping to use it as an Evernote replacement but I mostly use Evernote for web clipping with Safari (iOS and macOS), so currently Joplin isn’t much use for me in that regard.
Hmm, let’s try to get the cli version working first. You can run it headless so that you can use the API, but you can also just run the Desktop version (which also includes the API server).
There are several scripts available in the #apps category to create notes (python, perl, …). Maybe they help or are an inspiration for your own scripts.
Hey, everyone. I was also looking for something to use with Safari. I managed to build a working version of a Safari App Extension for Joplin. Now that Apple announced future versions of Safari will support Web Extensions, this might only be useful for a little while, this should work for at least a few months. Tested on Mojave and Catalina. Beta code but usable for daily use.
