Design notes: Page Export

1. What you want to keep is the article, not the whole page

When you come across a piece worth archiving, the only part you actually want is the body text. But that body is wrapped in navigation, related-post rails, comment threads, and ads. Copy and paste and you drag along styling and links you'll never use; save a screenshot and you can't search it or edit it; leave it in your bookmarks and the link may rot at any time. So the first thing Page Export does is peel the article out of its packaging — headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes, and code blocks kept as they were, everything else dropped.

2. Markdown, so you can still edit it later

The export format is Markdown, not because it's fashionable but because it's plain enough to last: text any editor can open, ready to drop straight into Obsidian, Notion, or a similar notes app, searchable, and easy to keep under version control. PDFs and screenshots, by contrast, are snapshots you can no longer touch. An article you saved should be material you can keep editing and quoting from, not a photograph you can only look at.

3. See what you're taking before you decide

No tool can extract an article with perfect accuracy. So after you right-click a page and generate the Markdown, the result appears in the side panel first, and you can fix it on the spot: delete a stray paragraph, add a note of your own, adjust a heading level. Once it looks right, copy it or export the .md file. I deliberately didn't build the “one right-click and it's quietly on your disk” version — you should see what you're taking before you commit to it.

4. It isn't a web archiver

It doesn't try to reproduce the original layout pixel for pixel, and it doesn't mirror whole sites. Admin consoles, dashboards, maps, and other complex app pages were never meant to be exported as articles; forcing them into Markdown just yields fragments. Page Export serves one purpose: taking the text worth keeping from this page, cleanly.
