Bookstack: Quick Method of Adding Content (Bookmarklet/Extension)

[rbridge]

Desired Feature:
It would be extremely useful to have a quick method of adding content to a BookStack instance.

Possible Implementations:

• Browser Extension
• Browser Bookmarklet

Possible Workflow:

1. Based on either selected text on a page, or the whole page body, activate the trigger.
2. The identified text is sent to either a static or dynamically selected Book/Chapter as its own page. A reference URL back to the source page is added to the top of the page with the date it was added.

Influences:

• https://github.com/OneNoteDev/WebClipper
• https://github.com/Pocket/extension-save-to-pocket
• https://github.com/cyfdecyf/InstapaperBookmarklet

Other Notes:

• This would likely require the addition of some API endpoints as well as user auth tokens.

I'm building something in my own instance of BookStack, if I manage to build something that seems usable I'll make it available for others.

Any update on this feature? I'd love to use this feature. Similiar to OneNote web clipper.

I've been pulled in a completely different direction at work, will try to come back to this when I can. Unfortunately bookmarklets and extensions seem to be finicky at best, loads of issues with cross-site requests.

Just chiming in...this would be a great feature that I'd use all the time. It's the one thing I'm missing since I ditched OneNote.

This would be a feature I'm interested as well. I'm currently using Shaarli which provides a bookmarklet. It works quite well on most sites. Github is currently the only one I can name from the top of my head which doesn't work.
