Turn Kindle my clippings.txt into an editable, starrable, exportable local notebook

Problem: Kindle users accumulate many clippings, but the native my clippings.txt can't be edited, deleted, or organized; re-uploading loses previous edits, and existing solutions are either paid or cloud-based.
Solution: A pure front-end web app where users upload my clippings.txt, then edit book titles and highlights, delete entries, pin books, and star highlights in the browser. Data is stored in localStorage; export to Markdown and JSON; re-uploading only adds new items while preserving existing edits.
Users: Heavy Kindle readers, note-takers, and anyone organizing highlights for writing or study
MVP: Parse and display my clippings.txt by book and highlight; support inline editing and deletion; pin books and star highlights; export to Markdown and JSON; merge incrementally on re-upload preserving edits
Revenue: Free basic version + one-time purchase for premium (batch export, cloud sync, more formats) or donation model
Why now: Kindle user base is stable; existing tools are paid or overly complex; a pure front-end solution is cheap to build and a solo dev can ship MVP in 1-2 weeks
