80% of my note-taking time is for quick notes or jotting down ideas, not sitting down to format documents. Every time I want to take notes while reading a blog, I have to open Obsidian, split the screen, open the correct file, finish my notes, close the app, open the browser back to full screen, and then open Anki to copy highlights to create cards, which not only interrupts my reading flow but also takes time to set up.

So, I built this extension: hit Alt+A to quickly open the note panel, edit and format md files, directly access the Obsidian vault, quickly highlight, automatically restore highlights when revisiting the blog, and export highlights to Anki

Highlight & Capture

• After highlighting, you can reopen the page and immediately see it again – no loss of marks.
• Automatic citation generation in APA, MLA, Markdown, BibTeX.
• LaTeX support, preserving math formulas in their original format.
• Direct export to Anki to turn highlighted sections into review flashcards.

The goal for the next version is to have highlights automatically create Anki cards and allow selection of templates with media.

Note Panel

• Side panel can be quickly accessed with a hotkey, allows writing in Markdown while reading, without needing to switch apps.
• Publish notes to a public link for sharing with just one click.
