Grateful for the opportunity to record a product demo for @outseta — one of my favorite tools I've worked with over the last few years. Take a look if you want to see how powerfully straightforward Outseta is.

Just finished a 5-hour paid work test for a job interview. Now I'm toasted and ready for bed. I guess the point of making it that long is to weed out anyone that is not excited enough about the role. 😁

Just shipped a new beta update for clipper.so with a new "Page Content" variable. Which essentially allows you to clip entire web pages and create your own "Read later" functionality into @NotionHQ. Quick demo below:

Good that I'm going on vacation. 😁

Already got my first product mention on Reddit. Even though it's not a very popular post. Still, it's a small success to get clipper.so on the radar for Notion users. 💪

I'm working on a way to get the full page content into clipper.so This means you could create a read-later setup (think Pocket or Instapaper) right inside @NotionHQ Especially interesting with offline mode coming to Notion soon.

So far I've collected 45 people for my clipper.so beta testing group. I think my goal is to get that number to 100 or 200 and then close it for new applications and focus on building an email waitlist for the launch.

One of my favorite aspects of "vibe coding" is that I can do other small stuff while the AI is working on a larger problem. Such as cleaning up, making a small snack, replying to a friend etc.

Just published the first Clipper release to my beta testing community. Really curious what the response will be.

It’s 9:30, and I’ve already fixed three tricky bugs with Claude Sonnet 4. The model seems to be a step-up from Sonnet 3.5 and Sonnet 3.7

Polished the onboarding for clipper.so this morning, Planning to publish the first beta release soon.

Reddit post for clipper.so is going well so far. 10k views. 147 upvotes. 71 comments. Especially the last one is important, since I asked people to comment if they are interested to test the extension and provide feedback.

It's awesome to see some interest in my small extension. Still need to check off some tasks to be able to get it into people's hands, but I'm really interested to see how people like it.

Just made a post about clipper.so on Reddit. Wish me luck. 🤞 And by the way, if you want to test run Clipper, let me know!

Everyone loves a bit of drag and drop.

Really happy with the properties panel in clipper.so This will make it so easy to quickly save content into @NotionHQ databases

Yesterday, I also build a simple, yet flexible Bookmark template for Notion. With basically all functionalities from a normal bookmarking interface (previews, categories, favorites, archives). Users can duplicate when installing clipper.so

Hello clipper.so 👋 After a month or so of development, Clipper is now at a point where I can actually use it to replace Raindrop and bring all my bookmarks into Notion. Now, some real-world testing.

One of the most helpful phrases I use with Cursor is: "Just answer, don't code" It keeps the conversation focused until the problem or task is clear. Once that’s settled, Cursor can jump into the implementation.

This has to be my favorite shot from bikepacking in Morocco earlier this year.

I’m looking over some data from a company about how customers found them. From the latest responses, it looks like ChatGPT has already passed Google and other sources. Most of their customers are SaaS builders, but still — it’s surprising how fast ChatGPT is being adopted.

With the new Figma updates, there’s probably going to be a rising demand for Figma Sites templates. Similar to what we saw with Framer. This is a great opportunity for web designers to build a side business or extra income stream.

I also got basic page properties working in clipper.so There are still some validation errors because the @NotionHQ API is pretty strict about what it accepts. But I did manage to send a bookmark to Notion with some page properties attached. So that's a win.

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 08/05/2025
Got icons and covers to work with clipper.so The icon comes from the page’s favicon, and the cover uses the page’s open graph image. (with some fallbacks) It makes each bookmark look neat and easy to recognize. 👌

Okay, decided to go with this logo for clipper.so - Clean. ✅ - Clear connection to @NotionHQ ✅ - Logo works as an extension icon ✅ More is not needed. Next task.

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 05/05/2025
I've bought clipper.so as the new name for my @NotionHQ web clipper extension. Currently tinkering with different designs for the logo. What's your favorite?

Today, I've spent most of the day in the trenches recording video footage and doing editing for a project. I’m really happy with how everything is coming together. Now, I'm closing the laptop and heading for an extended weekend at a small forest house. See you all next week! 👋

I've just created some mock-up data for a website I'm working on and @cursor_ai just added a random Google Forms link that actually points to a contact form. 👀

Today, I've added a changelog to the @markway_io extension and website. Feeling a bit guilty of spending time on something "non-critical", but I've set it up in such a way that I can reuse it for future projects.

I'm getting more and more comfortable with the idea to build @markway.io as a Notion highlighter/web clipper. The pilot I'm currently building already feels super powerful, although I only spend two days to connect it with Notion.

Spend 30 minutes to polish this database selector component. Was it worth it? 😁

TIL that my viral post post in January landed me in the top 1500 of the most popular blogs on Hacker News of all time. It doesn't mean anything, because the blog was a lucky strike. But nonetheless, pretty cool!

Now the import into Notion is working as well! But the page content currently is just the HTML of the editor as text. I probably have to build my own parser/transformer to turn the editor content into Notion blocks.

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 28/03/2025
I'm experimenting to see how Markway feels/performs like when connected directly to Notion. I just set up the auth and now working my way towards being able to actually save pages to databases.

Starting off the day by wrapping my head around OAuth2. I grasp it on the surface, but I'm missing the details.

I started into 2020 with a loose goal of creating a cohort-based course for online facilitation. Having the right tools—like @outseta.com —helped a lot to get things off the ground quickly. But there was so much more that went into it. In this article, I’ll share my key lessons learned💡

Impressed by what I'm seeing this morning from the new OpenAI image model, especially with text rendering. If generating clean, readable text has become consinstent then this is certainly a breakthrough. Some of my favorite pictures so far:

Pushing pixels today. First time playing around with the dotted border effect on sections. Seen this more and more recently. Gotta say, it looks clean!

What do you think of this approach to composing templates? — User types "@" — A searchable menu pops up with suggestions — When the users selects a value, it gets added as a variable My thinking is that "@" might be the easiest special character to write.

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 25/03/2025
I'm currently thinking a lot about how to position @markway.io. Overall, my goal is to build a intuitive and powerful web clipper for knowledge workers. But this still feels to "vague".

This was fun to create. A breakdown of the marketing funnel that helped us to grow Facilitator School over the past few years to 250,000€ in revenue. Made me reflect a bit on learnings and what we coul have done differently. Publishing an article together with @outseta.com about it on Wednesday!

Wrapping up the last tasks for V0.5 of @markway.io. Most exciting feature is the new template setting. 🔧
