I always wanted a place where I could save interesting snippets of text I find on the web, things like tweets, HN/reddit comments and little parts of blog posts and the like.<p>This tool is a browser extension, all you do is highlight text, right click and then you can send it to snipthat.<p>There are currently no logins, when you first get the browser extension you get a UUID which links to your snippets.<p>Site is very much in an alpha stage, I intend to add logins and you will be able to link your UUID to your login so you won't lose anything.<p>Any feedback / ideas appreciated!
If anyone is interested in the tech behind this; I used the Django rest framework and vanilla javascript to write the extension. I wrote it to be compatible with Firefox and chrome with the firefox polyfill which worked a treat in development.<p>Until I came to publish and I had to convert the chrome extension to manifest V3 which was not as easy as I thought it would be.<p>The chrome approvals process also took way longer then firefox did!
