Feature Request, a short description related to extractors, result items

As a admin, i need a markdown format, similar to the existing readability format,
to catch .md items for further, external downstream processes

the ideal specific solution

As a user, i can define MD as (additional) format for my (to be archived) items,
to get these items in our publishing worklow and as a result,
back to our commonly used MD based knowledge base.

Good for Applications like MkDocs, Trilium or similar other MD based Applications.

actual solution

At the moment a MD Webclipper as browser extension do the job, with some additional options also.

how important

as i can (not clear) see, a twin from the readability extractor, paired with great stuff, e.g. from mentioned .md Webclipper, could have potential for a low hanging fruit!? :-)

edit: if primary focus on converting, then an info.json could solve it. (like yt-download doing)
low code performer like me can work better with lightweight formats :)

personally i'll say its an improvement that can increase (not only) effiecenty in downstream processes

  • I'm willing to contribute dev time / money to fix this issue
  • I like ArchiveBox so far / would recommend it to a friend
  • I've had a lot of difficulty getting ArchiveBox set up (i´ll describe it outside this feature request)
