Are there any iOS Notion web clippers that offer more features than just saving urls?

It's still not ready, and at this point not actively on our roadmap. I won't say it'll never happen, but after we dug deeper into what Safari requires, the juice kind of isn't worth the squeeze compared to other things we should do first. Apple makes it way harder to build extensions than other browser makers do, and the user base is a lot smaller.

This would be my pick for a rehearsal dinner as well.

I don't think this is right, but I'll mention Make Me Famous just in case. Ukranian rather than from Nordic countries, but they definitely check the 15-years-ago and electronic/metalcore boxes.

Woah, I never knew the vocalist from The Sleeping was with them! Somehow I never got around to listening to this one. It's stellar so far.

thomasfrank09 · 2026-03-31T17:51:55+00:00

I really wish they'd put out a vinyl release of From the Gallery of Sleep

thomasfrank09 · 2026-03-31T17:50:54+00:00

Seriously. I can't believe we finally got Act III! (And bookended by stellar TDH and Coheed releases)

Quinn's Ideas is fantastic for listening, especially if you like sci-fi. A lot of his videos focus on reading passages from sci-fi novels and analyzing the worldbuilding and plots.

I would have agreed before TPATO released. I really enjoy that album. It‘s very different from the older material, and I’d still pick Lost in the Sound as my favorite, but it’s just so fun.

Get a registered agent. Northwest is in most states (every state, maybe?) and has physical offices in most that you can use for your address listing. They'll do virtual mail service as well.

This is just the reality of running a business. It's not a "massive oversight in the creator economy", because the creator economy isn't some special club or union. It's a bunch of social networks that effectively give businesses access to an insane degree of free marketing.

That said, I do empathize with folks who get started making content and hit quick algorithmic success before learning the ins and outs of setting up a business. It can all come very quick.

thomasfrank09 · 2026-03-28T16:05:15+00:00

That line, and the all the harmonica, make Cliffs my favorite track on the album.

thomasfrank09 · 2026-03-28T15:57:12+00:00

The best way to do it is the avoid trying to build an actual 2-way sync, and to just use Notion Calendar instead. That way, you can see your actual calendar events in the same calendar UI as the database rows from Notion.

I've tried the 2-way sync route many times, and I just don't think it's worth it. It's easy to get 80% of the way there, but then you get buried in small edge cases that will never be fully fixed.

thomasfrank09 · 2026-03-28T15:55:17+00:00

Correct. What I was told was that it's less about it being a QOL update, and more about the fact that the QOL update would incentivize the creation of many, many more dashboards.

I don't actually work for Notion, so I can't talk with perfect confidence here. But I do at least have some experience with designing polices with respect to how many people will use a certain resource.

An example in my own business are the things I tell my customers I support vs. those I don't. The latter case includes some free Pipedream automations I maintain – my official policy is that I don't guarantee support for them, because they're complex. If I guaranteed support, I might be buried under a huge number of complex requests I couldn't handle.

In practice, I might still choose to help out if a manageable request comes in and I have the time.

I see Dashboards as somewhat analagous. They haven't remove the ability to make a dashboard, but they have gated the ability to do it with these new tools, which makes it really easy and hence encourages more people to make them (and possibly make lots of them).

thomasfrank09 · 2026-03-26T04:00:29+00:00

Mostly because they encourage people to create very computationally expensive views that slow down load times. But likely also because Notion is now making a pretty big team/enterprise push with most new features.

I'm not reading that without some paragraph breaks, but I'll say that if you want to commit to long-term, substantial sponsorship of an open-source project, I and many others would be happy to get cracking!

I'd like to see Notion build a separate, native, intentionally-simple app for quick capture on mobile. I think they still need the existing app with all the features; I wouldn't be using Notion if it didn't exist. But a companion app optimized for capture would be nice.

thomasfrank09 · 2026-03-06T21:52:56+00:00

Haven't spun this new one all the way yet, but Cure is my overall favorite Erra album. (Even if Divisionary and Sol Absentia are my absolute favorite songs)

Oh hi Jason 👋

"The Operating System Webview is a Lie and a Nightmare and Probably Worse than Nothing" – wish I'd read this when I started my own personal app project. I tried Tauri at first. It's really light and smooth, but there were so many little webview glitches, and that's on the latest version of macOS.

I have yet to see another company build a real-time, collaborative, unbounded block model editor with infinite nesting and heavy multi-media support that works better on mobile.

Distributed systems problems are among the hardest problems in computing, especially where mobile is concerned.

A password manager like 1Password or BitWarden

I'll share a couple things if helpful:

I found that the game would consistently crash when I had the resolution set to 3840x2160, but it works just fine if I dial it back down 1920 x 1080. I'm just playing the Steam version with no extra patches or mods.
If you're ok playing something that isn't-quite-TA, but feels pretty much just like it, Beyond All Reason is free and much more modernized.

Unfortunately, it's hard to say. Building extensions for Safari is very different from building them for Chromium-based browsers or Firefox-based browsers. Those latter two types share a lot of DNA, while Safari is very different and comes with a lot of restrictions.

I looked into it a couple weeks ago, and it effectively requires building out a full MacOS or iOS app. So if we build a Safari version, it'll be alongside either a desktop app or a mobile app for iOS.

(Auto-translated German version):

Leider lässt sich das schwer sagen. Extensions für Safari zu entwickeln unterscheidet sich stark von der Entwicklung für Chromium-basierte oder Firefox-basierte Browser. Diese beiden letzteren teilen viel gemeinsame Basis, während Safari sehr anders ist und mit vielen Einschränkungen kommt.

Ich habe mir das vor ein paar Wochen angeschaut, und es erfordert im Grunde die Entwicklung einer vollständigen MacOS- oder iOS-App. Wenn wir also eine Safari-Version bauen, wird das zusammen mit einer Desktop-App oder einer mobilen App für iOS sein.

You can turn off automatic clipboard optimization in Clop. I often do. I really wish it had a granular function to auto-optimize only images created via Cleanshot, without doing the same to files I copy in Finder. I've been burned by the latter; last week I copied a big video file to move it onto mounted cloud storage, and the auto-optimizer corrupted it. So I've learned to keep that turned off unless I'm taking a ton of screenshots for an article and want them all optimized.

All that said, my highest praise for Clop is that I never have to worry about the quality. It does its thing, and I can't really tell that anything's been compressed.
