Official Obsidian Clipper

[Nitero]

So now that the official Obsidian Clipper was released I fear that this plugin will become a bit redundant...
The extension fulfills a very similar purpose and has quite the extensive syntax to pull out data so you can create any source you need, solving issues like this and this

The only reason I see to still keep this plugin around is that it has API access to YouTube, meaning I can save a video without first having to open it in a new tab, but apart from that I'm not sure what makes it unique anymore... anyone else got specific use-cases they stay for?

Maybe I'm as a maintainer of this plugin biased, but I think ReadItLater and the official Clipper can coexist. Clipper si right now better at creating notes from webpages, because it has access to complete rendered DOM in a browser. ReadItLater has custom parsers, it uses some APIs for richer content, settings are managed in the Obsidian app so they can be synced accros your devices and has support for running in mobile version of Obsidian.

I just want to point out that everything has its pros and cons and only users will decide what works better for them.

oh I wasn't aware the clipper doesn't work on mobile, thats a big one!
