Review Summary
Joplin Web Clipper is praised for its effective content clipping to Markdown or HTML, seamless integration with the Joplin app, and customization options, making it a powerful free and open source tool. However, many users report persistent connectivity issues with the Joplin desktop app, mandatory desktop dependency with no mobile support, UI shortcomings, and browser compatibility problems. The extension can be challenging to authorize and lacks some user-friendly features found in competitors. Overall, it's valued for its clipping quality but hampered by stability and usability concerns.
Pros
- Allows clipping web content in HTML or Markdown, preserving text and images well.
- Integration with the Joplin app enables organizing clips into notebooks with tags and custom note titles.
- Open source, free, and offers extensive customization and plugin options.
- Simplifies pages by removing ads and extraneous information effectively.
- Syncs instantly and works reliably better than some competitors like Evernote's clipper.
Cons
- Frequently fails to connect to the Joplin desktop application, showing 'Connecting to the Joplin application...' indefinitely.
- Requires the Joplin desktop app running in the background; no support for mobile apps like Android.
- User interface issues such as dialog sizing problems and lack of certain features like default tags or search (Ctrl+F) during clipping.
- Compatibility problems with some browsers or versions, e.g., Edge and the unavailability on some tabs.
- Permissions and authorization processes can be confusing, with error messages like 'Permission needed' and lack of helpful support.
