This project provides a custom Arc browser Boost script that allows users to easily clip web content directly into their Obsidian vault. It is inspired by and adapted from the original Obsidian Web Clipper created by Steph Ango.

The Arc Obsidian Clipper is based on the bookmarklet version of the Obsidian Web Clipper. You can find the original bookmarklet and more information here. This project adapts the core functionality of the original clipper to work as an Arc browser Boost, providing a seamless experience for Arc users.

• Adds a "Clip" button to web pages
• Converts web content to Markdown format
• Includes YAML front matter with metadata
• Supports keyboard shortcut (Control + Shift + M) for quick clipping
• Integrates with Obsidian for seamless note creation

1. Clone this repository or download the arc-obsidian-clipper.js file.
2. In Arc browser, navigate to the page where you want to use the clipper.
3. Click on the "+" button in the address bar to create a new Boost.
4. Name your Boost (e.g., "Obsidian Clipper") and click "Create Boost".
5. In the Boost editor, paste the contents of arc-obsidian-clipper.js.
6. Click "Save" to apply the Boost.

1. Navigate to a web page you want to clip.
2. Click the "Clip" button that appears in the bottom-right corner of the page, or use the keyboard shortcut Control + Shift + M.
3. The selected content (or entire page if no selection) will be converted to Markdown and opened in Obsidian.

You can customize the Obsidian vault and folder by modifying the following lines in the script:

const vault = ''; // Specify your vault name here const folder = 'Clippings/'; // Specify your desired folder path here

This script uses the following libraries (loaded dynamically):

• Turndown for HTML to Markdown conversion
• Readability for extracting main content from web pages

Special thanks to Steph Ango for creating the original Obsidian Web Clipper, which served as the inspiration and foundation for this Arc browser adaptation.
