Android app that converts an URL to markdown, and lets you share it to your favorite notes app.

I've written this app to save articles I found interesting to a note taking app that uses markdown and git to sync notes to my pc.

## Features

<a id="user-content-features"></a>[](#features)

- Downloads the web page specified in the URL input field, cleans it up (like readability does) and converts it to Markdown.
- Ability to enable/disable parts of the markdown:
    - YAML front matter with the creation date, the source url and the author
    - The "Clipped from " text under the title
    - The excerpt of the article
    - The article body
- Ability to show the markdown preview
- Share the markdown to other apps with standard share intent.
- The URL can be also be shared from another app (for example the web browser); markdownr will automatically convert it and show the share intent.
- If something isn't working with the share button, you can use the copy button to send the text to the clipboard.

## Developer info

<a id="user-content-developer-info"></a>[](#developer-info)

This app has been made possible thanks ti these wonderful libraries:

- `html2md`
- `readability4J`
- `receive_sharing_intent`
- `share_plus`
- `flutter_markdown`
- `http`
- `shared_preferences`
- `fluttertoast`
- `intl`
- `flutter_charset_detector`
- `charset_converter`

I just put them together in a really simple app.
