I wanted to save web content directly into my Obsidian vault without leaving the browser. Tools like Pocket or Raindrop felt too heavy — I was looking for something more direct. Read something, save it, it’s in my vault.

Webpage to Markdown is two components working together: a Chrome extension and an Obsidian plugin. The extension extracts article content using Readability, converts it to Markdown via Turndown, and sends it as JSON to a local HTTP server. The Obsidian plugin runs that server and writes the incoming content as .md files into the vault, organized by domain with YAML frontmatter.
