📢 Update: I'm working on a new and improved version of this web highlighter called Markway. To learn more and get notified about the release, go to https://markway.io 🙂
DESCRIPTION:
This extension offers an easy way to highlight text on a web page and import it to note-taking apps like Roam Research, Obsidian, Logseq or Notion in the format that best suits your workflow.
This is especially helpful of you are doing research, want to build your own knowledge-base or just want to save your favorite blog articles.
FEATURES:
Easily highlight any text on a web page
→ Add tags to bring your highlights into context
→ Customise the format of your copied highlights with placeholders
→ Jump to the next open Roam Research tab, to quickly insert your highlight
HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT THE EXTENSION?
The quickest way to launch the extension is with a hotkey (e.g CMD + SHIFT + R). You can set a hotkey in the Chrome Settings for Extensions. Next you can create your own format for the highlights, by going into the widget settings. Play around with the placeholders and use spaces to indent content.
QUESTIONS / FEEDBACK:
Do you have questions or feedback? The best approach is to write me directly on x.com/wirtzdan
PERMISSIONS:
Roam Highlighter needs to modify the websites you visit to display the widget. That's why it needs the requested permissions to function properly. However, the exact phrase ("Read and change all your data on the website you visit") make it sound more invasive than it actually is. Currently, the extension runs completely on your local machine and the only thing that is saved, are the settings you make.

- (2022-12-17) Suhani Kashyap: Amazing highlighter!! I use it to highlight specific sentences on the web page and capture a full page screenshot so that I don't have to come back to the original article to understand the context later. Thanks so much for creating this chrome extension!

- (2021-08-29) Jarod Zhang: After trying out all the highlighters extensions out there for logseq/Obsidian, I've come to the conclusion that Roam Highlighter is the best of all, simple, fast and very intuitive to use. I hope in the future it would be possible to make comments for the highlights too.

- (2021-07-29) Taylor Banks: Simple, brilliant, effective. Also love that it's not locked into Roam. Currently using it for Roam and Obsidian as I try to determine with PKM tool better fits my needs and workflow.

- (2021-03-12) Edward: Hello, developer! Thanks for your great work! This plug-in is really useful. It provides a flexible way to mark any websites. But sadly, it goes on badly with Chinese websites. You can't accurately choose these Chinese characters you want. I hope one day this problem can be solved.

- (2021-03-01) Tim Bleeker: Like others, I would like the ability to clip the entire article (similar to Notion Saver), but this is the best of the highlighter tools I have come across for Roam. It gets 5-stars because it allows me to set my metadata header info, apply tags, and all for free from a generous community member.

- (2020-12-08) Andrés Martínez: Such a simple and great extension, thanks for the work. 2 things to make it better: - When you highlight a word with a closing parenthesis, it doesn't include it automatically. - Support better comment feature. Right now I'm adding the comments before the tags, but then the extensions suggests me the whole comment when typing tags on future highlights

- (2020-09-19) David Schulman: This is the best of the Roam Highlighters. It's clean, simple, and extremely easy to use tool for pulling web content into Roam. Grabbing the Title and link is a single click. Add highlighted text (with formatting) as blocks nested below the title. It's the only tool I've tested that works perfectly both in Windows and in ChromeOS. Fabulous!
