Just finished a 5-hour paid work test for a job interview. Now I'm toasted and ready for bed. I guess the point of making it that long is to weed out anyone that is not excited enough about the role. 😁

Just shipped a new beta update for clipper.so with a new "Page Content" variable. Which essentially allows you to clip entire web pages and create your own "Read later" functionality into @NotionHQ. Quick demo below:

Good that I'm going on vacation. 😁

Already got my first product mention on Reddit. Even though it's not a very popular post. Still, it's a small success to get clipper.so on the radar for Notion users. 💪

I'm working on a way to get the full page content into clipper.so This means you could create a read-later setup (think Pocket or Instapaper) right inside @NotionHQ Especially interesting with offline mode coming to Notion soon.

So far I've collected 45 people for my clipper.so beta testing group. I think my goal is to get that number to 100 or 200 and then close it for new applications and focus on building an email waitlist for the launch.

One of my favorite aspects of "vibe coding" is that I can do other small stuff while the AI is working on a larger problem. Such as cleaning up, making a small snack, replying to a friend etc.

Just published the first Clipper release to my beta testing community. Really curious what the response will be.

It’s 9:30, and I’ve already fixed three tricky bugs with Claude Sonnet 4. The model seems to be a step-up from Sonnet 3.5 and Sonnet 3.7

Polished the onboarding for clipper.so this morning, Planning to publish the first beta release soon.

Reddit post for clipper.so is going well so far. 10k views. 147 upvotes. 71 comments. Especially the last one is important, since I asked people to comment if they are interested to test the extension and provide feedback.

It's awesome to see some interest in my small extension. Still need to check off some tasks to be able to get it into people's hands, but I'm really interested to see how people like it.

Just made a post about clipper.so on Reddit. Wish me luck. 🤞 And by the way, if you want to test run Clipper, let me know!

Everyone loves a bit of drag and drop.

Really happy with the properties panel in clipper.so This will make it so easy to quickly save content into @NotionHQ databases

Yesterday, I also build a simple, yet flexible Bookmark template for Notion. With basically all functionalities from a normal bookmarking interface (previews, categories, favorites, archives). Users can duplicate when installing clipper.so

Hello clipper.so 👋 After a month or so of development, Clipper is now at a point where I can actually use it to replace Raindrop and bring all my bookmarks into Notion. Now, some real-world testing.

One of the most helpful phrases I use with Cursor is: "Just answer, don't code" It keeps the conversation focused until the problem or task is clear. Once that’s settled, Cursor can jump into the implementation.

This has to be my favorite shot from bikepacking in Morocco earlier this year.

I’m looking over some data from a company about how customers found them. From the latest responses, it looks like ChatGPT has already passed Google and other sources. Most of their customers are SaaS builders, but still — it’s surprising how fast ChatGPT is being adopted.

With the new Figma updates, there’s probably going to be a rising demand for Figma Sites templates. Similar to what we saw with Framer. This is a great opportunity for web designers to build a side business or extra income stream.

I also got basic page properties working in clipper.so There are still some validation errors because the @NotionHQ API is pretty strict about what it accepts. But I did manage to send a bookmark to Notion with some page properties attached. So that's a win.

Got icons and covers to work with clipper.so The icon comes from the page’s favicon, and the cover uses the page’s open graph image. (with some fallbacks) It makes each bookmark look neat and easy to recognize. 👌

Template UI I worked on this morning.

Okay, decided to go with this logo for clipper.so - Clean. ✅ - Clear connection to @NotionHQ ✅ - Logo works as an extension icon ✅ More is not needed. Next task.

I've bought clipper.so as the new name for my @NotionHQ web clipper extension. Currently tinkering with different designs for the logo. What's your favorite?

From 0 to 350 people strong paid community in 2 days. Osmo.supply is a lesson in how you launch a successful paid membership in 2025. I had the pleasure to interview Dennis Snellenberg and @iljavaneck.bsky.social to learn about their unique launch and pricing strategy. Check it out 👇

When you almost nail the outro... But then you mispronounce your own name. 😁

Today, I've spent most of the day in the trenches recording video footage and doing editing for a project. I’m really happy with how everything is coming together. Now, I'm closing the laptop and heading for an extended weekend at a small forest house. See you all next week! 👋

I think I might be late, but Lenny's podcast is amazing. Currently binging some of the episodes.

I've just created some mock-up data for a website I'm working on and @cursor_ai just added a random Google Forms link that actually points to a contact form. 👀

Today, I've added a changelog to the @markway_io extension and website. Feeling a bit guilty of spending time on something "non-critical", but I've set it up in such a way that I can reuse it for future projects.

@NotionHQ 👀

Free business idea:

I'm getting more and more comfortable with the idea to build @markway.io as a Notion highlighter/web clipper. The pilot I'm currently building already feels super powerful, although I only spend two days to connect it with Notion.

Spend 30 minutes to polish this database selector component. Was it worth it? 😁

TIL that my viral post post in January landed me in the top 1500 of the most popular blogs on Hacker News of all time. It doesn't mean anything, because the blog was a lucky strike. But nonetheless, pretty cool!
