DownMark extracts web articles and converts them to clean Markdown files. This Safari extension intelligently filters ads and clutter, preserving only essential content with proper formatting for knowledge workers.
🎉 Excited to share DownMark with the Product Hunt community! As a developer who constantly collects web articles for research, I built this Safari extension to solve my own pain point - turning messy web pages into clean, organized Markdown files.
What makes DownMark special:
✨ Smart content extraction that filters out ads and clutter
📝 Perfect Markdown formatting preservation
💻 Native macOS integration with Safari
⚡ One-click workflow from web to file
Perfect for researchers, writers, students, and anyone building a knowledge base from web content. Would love to hear what you think! 🚀
Congrats! Markdown conversion is like that intern who’s great with the basics but trips up on anything fancy — dynamic stuff, tricky layouts, or interactive bits often don’t survive the jump. How do you plan to handle these complex web elements so users don’t end up with broken or incomplete Markdown?
@vouchy This tool was designed to preserve knowledge articles, and Markdown files inherently focus on text and images rather than dynamic content, complex layouts, or interactive elements. To handle these limitations, we prioritize robust conversion of core content—text, headings, lists, and images—ensuring they translate accurately into Markdown. For complex web elements, we aim to gracefully degrade them: dynamic content is captured as static text where possible, intricate layouts are simplified into clean, readable structures, and interactive components are either represented as static placeholders or linked references. For richer functionality, we recommend users directly save the HTML itself or print the content to PDF to preserve complex elements.
