🎆 New extension to send highlighted text and web page metadata to Trello

[Michael Mirandi]

👋 Hi everyone!

I built a Trello extension in PixieBrix that lets you highlight text on any web page and send it to a Trello card. It can also send over web page metadata like URL.

📺 Here's a 1.5 min demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BtlkFV4o4Q

(start at 0:55 if you want to skip the configuration part and just see it in action)

I use this extension to keep track of bloggers and articles that I come across and want to go back to. In some ways, it's a similar behavior to Pinterest. 

If you're not familiar with it, PixieBrix is a low code browser extension builder, so there are many ways it could integrate with Trello.

💜 Please let me know if you have any feedback, questions, or requests! 

Thanks!

Mike

Hi Mike!

What other web page metadata besides URLs can pixiebrix pull over to Trello?

I have a couple of ideas I want to try out if there are other types I can pull!

Thanks!

Hi Vikash,

PixieBrix can send over any page metadata that the site exposes to search engines like Google. Here's a list of All meta tags that Google understands.

See below for an example of a PixieBrix extension that sends highlighted text plus the following metadata to a Google Sheet (but it could send this to Trello):

• title
• provider
• description
• url

Demo: Right Click Actions

Hope this helps!

Mike
