What it does

The Trilium Web Clipper tool saves web clippings directly to Trilium Notes, allowing founders to organize their research in a structured and accessible manner.

When to use it

•When conducting market research and needing to save relevant web pages for later reference
•When gathering information from the web for a specific project or task
•When wanting to annotate and organize web clippings in a note-taking system

Ready-to-paste prompt

Use the web clipper to save a web clipping of a competitor's website to a note in Trilium Notes, and then use the note's annotation features to highlight key points and add notes

Heads up: The Trilium Web Clipper requires a Trilium Notes instance to be set up and configured before it can be used, so make sure you have a Trilium Notes instance up and running before attempting to use the web clipper
