How to use

Submit your an HTML body with the following parameters:

• title
• data
• url
• tags(optional)

The resulting markdown file will have a filename of title with the markdown-ified HTML body as its content. The content will be embedded with a link the url tag.

If you wish to add tags, you can supply a tags field with a comma-delimited string like so: tech,engineering,programming. The markdown content will be embedded with the tags: #tech #engineering #programming right below the link of the source.

Recommended integration

I use a bookmarklet of to trigger the submission to the endpoint. Something like this will work:

javascript:(function()
{
  var tags = prompt("Enter relevant tags for the article:","");
  var form = document.createElement('form');
  form.style.visibility = 'hidden';
  form.method = 'post';
  form.action = '<link to the HTTP endpoint>';
  form.target = 'response';

  inputTitle = document.createElement('input');
  inputTitle.name = 'title';
  inputTitle.value = document.title;
  form.appendChild(inputTitle);

  inputTags = document.createElement('input');
  inputTags.name = 'tags';
  inputTags.value = tags;
  form.appendChild(inputTags);

  inputUrl = document.createElement('input');
  inputUrl.name = 'url';
  inputUrl.value = window.location.href;
  form.appendChild(inputUrl);

  dataTitle = document.createElement('input');
  dataTitle.name = 'data';
  dataTitle.value = document.querySelector('*').outerHTML;
  form.appendChild(dataTitle);

  document.body.appendChild(form);
  form.submit();
}
)();
