ClipSend
ClipSend was one of my earlier projects exploring how to build a Chrome extension together with an API.
The original idea was pretty simple: when you visit a page you’re interested in, ClipSend lets you clip that page and send it somewhere else.
I explored a few different actions. Email was the first one because, at the time, many services didn’t have a proper Chrome extension, but they let you send an email to create a note or save content. So ClipSend could act as a bridge between the webpage and those services.
Besides email, I also explored two other ideas: sending the page to any webhook URL, and opening it through an app deep link on the Mac.
The idea behind all of them was the same — make it easier to take the page you’re currently viewing and send it directly into another service.
But ClipSend never really got much traction.
And with the AI era coming, building a Chrome extension has become much easier and more straightforward. More services can easily build their own extension now, which makes the original idea behind ClipSend less useful than before.
Chrome also started putting more restrictions on developers with low-traffic extensions, including limiting how many extensions I can keep published. Since I have a few other Chrome extension products with more potential, I need to make some room.
So yeah, after keeping ClipSend around for quite some time, I decided it’s time to close this one down.
Another product cleaned up, and more room to focus on what’s next.
