Clipwise 0.2 is live ā a lot of it came straight from your launch comments
Hey everyone š
A few days ago Clipwise launched here and ended up #6 of the day, which I really didn't expect as a solo developer. Thank you. Many of you left questions and ideas, and a good part of version 0.2 comes straight from those.
What's new:
ā¢ It knows when you've already saved a page. Open an article that's already in your database and you get a link to the existing page instead of a silent duplicate ā even when the address has ?utm_source junk in it. (Thanks Jan for asking.)
ā¢ The keyboard shortcut now tells you what went wrong instead of just showing a red "!". (Thanks Gal for pushing on that.)
ā¢ Links, bold and italic now come through into Notion.
ā¢ A short setup guide opens after installing, and every step checks itself off.
ā¢ Author and publish date are picked up on many more sites, a "Date added" column gets today's date, and Notion's Status property works.
ā¢ Tags are simple toggle buttons now.
It also got much better with messy pages. Paul Graham's essays used to come through almost empty, and some blogs sent hundreds of reader comments along with the article. Both are fixed.
Still free, still no account, and nothing leaves your computer.
What should come next ā tables, highlights, something else?

Glad the shortcut error feedback made it in, that's a nice example of shipping a real fix off a launch-day comment instead of just noting it down. The dedupe-on-utm-junk fix is the one I'm most excited to try, that's a genuinely annoying edge case in a lot of clippers. For "what's next" - my vote would be highlights over tables, since most people clipping articles are marking up passages to revisit, not building a database.
