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. 😁

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 27/05/2025

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. 💪

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 25/05/2025

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.

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 23/05/2025

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

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 22/05/2025

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.

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 21/05/2025

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!

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 21/05/2025

Everyone loves a bit of drag and drop.

010

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 21/05/2025

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

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 20/05/2025

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

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 19/05/2025

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.

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

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 08/05/2025

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.

000

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. 👌

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 07/05/2025

Template UI I worked on this morning.

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 06/05/2025

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.

010

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?

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 23/04/2025

When you almost nail the outro... But then you mispronounce your own name. 😁

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 31/03/2025

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.

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 29/03/2025

But prepare to ship fast:

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 29/03/2025

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

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 28/03/2025

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!

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 28/03/2025

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.

000

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.

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 27/03/2025

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

000

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 26/03/2025

Okay, this is really impressive.

120

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 26/03/2025

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:

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 26/03/2025

Indeed, that looks sharp! Also like the animation. Great work Adrien!

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 25/03/2025

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!

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 25/03/2025

And when a template is used on a webpage, the variables are replaced with real data from that page. Users can also access these variables directly from the editor. When they do, a live preview of the value appears, and selecting it adds the value right into the editor.

110

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 25/03/2025

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.

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. 🔧

What do you think of the size of my dock in macOS? 😁

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 16/03/2025

Had a great time at #pkmsummit2025, diving deep into productivity, writing, and knowledge management over two days. Highlights: Giving Nick Milo a demo of @markway.io, showing people whats possible with Raycast, and @bobdoto.bsky.social writing talk.

Just stumbled upon this number in my Chrome Developer Dashboard. These are the Chrome Web Store impressions over the last 5 years. Haven't paid a penny for any of those impressions. Wild. I guess these are the benefits of a building a product on a platform.

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 13/03/2025

I'm giving a talk on Saturday on the #PKM Summit about Raycast. Hopefully some people will join who are used to Spotlight on Mac, so I can blow their socks off. What Raycast feature do you think I definitely to demo?

Just started working on an article to boil down my key lessons from five years of building a cohort-based course business. (facilitator.school) Going to post it here once it comes out as an article.

Currently working on a template system for @markway.io Slowly cracking it.

Trains have exactly the right background soundscape for productive coding.

030

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 04/03/2025

Added a simple onboarding/welcome to @markway.io. When a user first installs the extension, it immediately opens a new page with a small interactive tutorial. Thoughts?

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 03/03/2025

If you are wondering, this is the magic button.

010

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 03/03/2025

One of my favorite features in Cursor AI are the AI generated commit messages. Feels satisfying to wrap up a feature, click the magic wand icon and see a summary of your work.

Okay, @pmfordie takes #buildinginpublic to a whole new level. Two people, 90 days, and the goal is to create a $1 million in revenue with an AI app. With a 24/7 livestream into their NY apartment. Wild. I just tuned in, and one of them is still at it at 4:22 AM. 😄
