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

Thanks, Mira! Hope so! I now have almost 40 people in a private Discord community. Now I'm trying to get a version ready so I can publish it there.

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!

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

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 19/05/2025
Comment if you are interested to give it a test run too!

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.

Thanks Mira!

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. 👌

Template UI I worked on this morning.

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. 👀

The only thing I still need to build is some feature to notify the user when the extension has recieved a new update. I'm thinking about a small banner with "Markway has been updated. See what's new" or something like this.

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 31/03/2025
Essentially, what I did is: 1. Create a @NotionHQ database for changelog entries 2. Write code to fetch database in @nextjs 3. Add some styling and design tweaks 4. Add iframe to extension Thsi essentially allows me now to write and update changelogs rigth from Notion.

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.

But it also feels like a difficult decision to make, because I initially announced @markway.io as a "successor" of my Roam Highlighter. So the people on the waitlist for that, might not be excited of the pivot.

Daniel Wirtz @danielwirtz.com · 29/03/2025
Also, the features I have been thinking about in the last 1-2 months would all fit really well to the Notion ethos: — lego-like modularity — simple user experience — powerful editor If I get my ideas implemented right, it could be something great for the community.

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