todometer web clipper

A browser extension that lets you highlight text on any web page and add it to your todometer list with a right-click.

How it works

1. Highlight any text on a web page
2. Right-click to open the context menu
3. Click "Add to todometer"
4. The selected text is sent to your local todometer app (via the todometer:// protocol!)

Prerequisites

The todometer app must be installed and running.

Local Installation

Chrome / Edge / Chromium-based browsers

1. Go to chrome://extensions (or edge://extensions, helium://extensions/, etc)
2. Enable Developer mode (toggle in the top right)
3. Click Load unpacked
4. Select this extension's folder

Firefox

1. Go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
2. Click Load Temporary Add-on
3. Select the manifest.json file from this extension's folder

Note: Temporary add-ons in Firefox are removed when the browser closes. For permanent installation, the extension would need to be signed and distributed through addons.mozilla.org, and I simply don't have the patience to do that right now. I will eventually. I'll add that to todometer.
