Text Saver

A browser extension to save texts anytime, anywhere.

When read issues/pulls of my favorite projects on GitHub, often there are comments I think are worth digging further, but GitHub has no SAVE button for single issue/pull, not to mention specific comment, so I create Text Saver to fix this, once and for all.

Text Saver works on any website, just click Add to Text Saver in context menu, then

• Current text selection will be saved if there is any, otherwise
• Current link will be saved if mouse hover on image or link, otherwise
• URL of current tab will be saved when none of above are met.

All saved texts can be viewed in option page, and users can export their saved texts to local disk, so no need to worry about vendor lock-in.

Open an issue if you have any suggestions or issues.
