When I’m reading online, I often want to keep a few passages long enough to use them. Copying text is easy, but remembering which page it came from is a task. I built HodoClip as a scratchpad in Chrome’s side panel. Select text on a page, and it goes into the pad with its source link and a timestamp. You can write around the clips in Markdown, then copy the whole pad as Markdown or export it as a PDF. Privacy-first, no login required. Would love feedback.
