Android app that converts an URL to markdown, and lets you share it to your favorite notes app.
I've written this app to save articles I found interesting to a note taking app that uses markdown and git to sync notes to my pc.
- Downloads the web page specified in the URL input field, cleans it up with (like readability does) and converts it to Markdown.
- Share the markdown to other apps with standard share intent.
- The URL can be also be shared from another app (for example the web browser); markdownr will automatically convert it and show the share intent.
- If something isn't working with the share button, you can use the copy button to send the text to the clipboard.
This is a super simple app made in flutter, with only a single module.
It takes advantage of a few wonderful libraries:
http
html2md
share_plus
receive_sharing_intent
fluttertoast
I just glued them up in a day, learning some Flutter in the meantime.
In another day or so, I added readability4J
kotlin package to the mix to cleanup the HTML before converting it to markdown.
