Web Clipper 2.0

I have to say that in many cases bears web clipper is not able to retrieve the author or date of the article while other tools like good links or unread have no problems

Absolutely love the speed and accuracy of the clipper using the Chrome version on Edge. In Safari also but the need to “reset” each time I launch the browser is sort of a pain, but understood. How long do we think this will be in Beta?

The author and the date are generally discarded by Mozilla’s readability because not considered the ‘meaningful‘ part of the article. I liked the metadata proposal because it overcame this limitation by providing a standard place for that kind of information.

I am not sure if I understood you correctly. My point wasn’t where the information is shown. I am fine with the metadata approach in yaml frontmatter. But it seems that the information about the author and the publication date is not always available, unlike in other apps. Do you want to say that the readability engine you are using in the clipper is not able to catch the information?

Yes, that’s what I meant.
