Inspired by Heck Yeah Markdown
A bookmarklet for SimpleNote on iOS/iPadOS (based on simpleclip):
javascript:(
function()
{
var request=new XMLHttpRequest();
var url="https://urltomarkdown.herokuapp.com/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href);
request.onreadystatechange=function() {
if(request.readyState==4&&request.status==200) {
let text = '# ' + decodeURIComponent(request.getResponseHeader('X-Title')) + '\n' + request.responseText;
location.href="simplenote:https://new?content="+encodeURIComponent(text);
}
};
request.open("GET",url, true);
request.send();
}
)();
Using Safari Snippets to inject the following code solves the issue that some sites prevent javascript bookmarklets accessing a resource on a different domain
var request=new XMLHttpRequest();
var herokuurl="https://urltomarkdown.herokuapp.com/";
request.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if(request.readyState==4&&request.status==200) {
let text = '# ' + decodeURIComponent(request.getResponseHeader('X-Title')) + '\n' + request.responseText;
location.href="simplenote:https://new?content="+encodeURIComponent(text);
}
};
request.open("POST", herokuurl, true);
request.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
html=document.documentElement.innerHTML;
request.send("html="+encodeURIComponent(html)+"&url="+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href));
