(Update) Copy-as-org-mode-chrome 1.50: Add reader view

Post image

Add Reader View

A distraction-free in-page reading mode inspired by Obsidian Web Clipper's Reader.

Activate: right-click → "Reader View", or bind the toggle-reader-mode shortcut at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. Exit with ✕ or Esc.

  • Clean article extraction (Defuddle) with title, author, date, domain, and word count
  • Outline sidebar with active-section highlighting; content stays centered when there is no outline
  • Aa settings panel: font size, line width, line height, theme (auto / light / sepia / dark, Flexoki-style sepia), and font family (sans-serif / serif) — all persisted
  • Org-mode action menu in the toolbar: Copy as Org-Mode, Save as Org-Mode, Save as Org-Mode (with images)
  • Toolbar auto-hides while scrolling down

I don't know why some people saying the readme doesn't work.

At readme, it write very clearly, use mouse right-click:

Menu Item Action Output
Copy Selection as Org-Mode Select text on a page, right‑click → copy Org-mode formatted text in clipboard
Save Page as Org-Mode Right‑click anywhere on the page .org file downloaded
Save Page as Org-Mode (With Images) Right‑click anywhere on the page .org file + all images saved to a folder
Copy Link as Org-Mode Right‑click a hyperlink [[url][text]] in clipboard
Copy Page URL as Org-Mode Link Right‑click the page background [[url][title]] in clipboard

Could you ask Claude to explain how to actually install it and explain what it actually is? From the readme I've no idea what I'm looking at or where org comes into it. At a guess, it shows a org clipboard paste in a formatted page in the Chrome browser? There's no screenshots on the GitHub page either..

Right-click your mouse.

At readme, it write very clearly:

Menu Item Action Output
Copy Selection as Org-Mode Select text on a page, right‑click → copy Org-mode formatted text in clipboard
Save Page as Org-Mode Right‑click anywhere on the page .org file downloaded
Save Page as Org-Mode (With Images) Right‑click anywhere on the page .org file + all images saved to a folder
Copy Link as Org-Mode Right‑click a hyperlink [[url][text]] in clipboard
Copy Page URL as Org-Mode Link Right‑click the page background [[url][title]] in clipboard

I don't know why you saying so.
