Export Web Selections to Markdown/PNG

Save only the useful parts of a webpage, skip nav and footers

Problem

When curating information, people often need only parts of a page, but existing tools either save the whole page or are cumbersome. A developer on V2EX built a similar extension, showing it's a common yet unsolved need.

Solution

A browser extension that lets users select page elements or visible areas and copy/download as Markdown or PNG. Automatically removes nav, ads, and other clutter. Supports batch selection and keyboard shortcuts.

Users

Researchers, content creators, students, and developers who frequently curate web content

MVP

Selection or element picking; one-click export to Markdown and PNG; remove nav and footers; keyboard shortcuts; local processing, no data upload.

Revenue

Free basic features; subscription for advanced export formats (PDF, batch) or cloud sync. Also paid via Chrome Web Store.

Why now

Remote work and online learning are widespread, driving demand for content curation, but existing tools are lacking. Indie developers can build and ship quickly.
