Hi, HN! My side project ideas are often inspired by problems I encounter in my day-to-day life. In this case, I was browsing a specific Wikipedia page and saw some interesting-looking references. However, there was not a straightforward way for me to copy the text and external links associated with those references. So, naturally, I built a web extension that does it for me!<p>Features:<p>- Extract the text and links associated with a reference by clicking on that reference item on the page<p>- Extract an entire section of references at once<p>- Display and edit titles of currently extracted references<p>- Download references as JSON<p>- Delete previously extracted references<p>The version currently on GitHub is v0.0.1. I welcome constructive feedback and bug reports!
