pocket/instapaper replacement via python-readability and pandoc #72

Another candidate for far-in-the-future or idea?

I checked a couple of other markdown editors but couldn't find such a feature. I had this idea when a friend showed me this in his emacs workflow using a package called org-web-tools .

This allows a persistent copy that you can link against.

python-readability

This feature would also be huge step to postion slzk as an evernote replacement. I don't know if you want this. But evernote always comes up when I talk with friends about notetaking.

This can be interesting in the future. But at the moment, the program has a dedicated purpose and neither pulling in web pages nor becoming an evernote replacement is one of them. Evernote has its uses but when it comes to a Zettelkasten, evernote is not particularly strong.

Having said that, you can pack both python-readability and pandoc into a shell / powershell / command line script and create notes that way. have a look at external commands. they even give you a note id, path, etc, everything your script needs to create a new note.

Then again, some browser plugin might be even better.... Then again, you could use Zotero or sth like that to automatically pull your source in so you can reference it. In my Zettelkasten thinking, citing and quoting is OK, but storing text from an external source isn't; this is what you cite.
