Rolling Your Own Read-Later Setup with Obsidian
If it hasn’t become clear yet from some of my recent writing, I’m in the midst of wide-ranging experiments related to RSS, read-later apps and services, and note-taking. Last week, I explained my current setup, which hasn’t changed. However, along the way to that setup, I tried an Obsidian-centric approach that might appeal to some readers.
The process is pretty simple but relies on a couple of things that are handy to know about Obsidian whether you use this setup or not. The first is a bookmarklet created by Steph Ango, the recently-appointed CEO of Obsidian. The bookmarklet, called Obsidian Web Clipper converts an article on the web into Markdown and saves it to your Obsidian vault along with a bunch of metadata.
