I am also aware that this is in the works, but I figured I would share some thoughts for inspiration.
Tagspaces
Personally one of the best web clippers I have used is opensource [tagspaces](Tagging a file Tagspaces webclipper has pretty good functionality. Here is a video of how it work. TagSpaces WebClipper | Demonstration - YouTube)
What is nice about it is that you can add tags, which it would be nice to somehow incorporate in Anytype. But it also has a pretty nice UI.
Save to Notion (3rd part webclipper example)
I know that there are alot of Notion fans here. Notion’s web clipper is pretty basic. However “Save to notion” provides the ability to create form/templates to send clippings to a specific workplace in notion. After a clip is sent, it also has the ability to send highlights to the link page in notion. Here is a video
Metadate Capture
Personally I like it when metadata is carried over with the capture, however many web clippers only bring over the page title and the url. It would be nice if more metadata could be included in the link properties. The application that I have used that does this the best with a website’s meta data is the open source Zotero (specifically its Zotero connector), because having the page metadata is important for citation. When clipping a page, it populates the following fields : Item Type, Title, Abstract, Website, Website Type, Date, Short Title, URL, Accessed (date), Language en-US, Rights etc etc. See image below.
Probably not possible but I figured I would mention it:
Contact/ Address Capture: (My guess is that this is a pie in the sky)
Years ago I used a webclipper with CRM (contact management system) that would recognize if the text your were copying was an address, telephone number, email address and it would parse out the fields to the corresponding fields in the CRM. I believe it did this utilizing the html tags. I know many people are interested in using Anytype to manage contacts and relationships and I could see having some way of streamlining this would be helpful.
Hope this helps
