singlefile2trilium

Save faithful copy of a web page as a Trilium note with SingleFile web extension.

How it Works

SingleFile web extension saves a faithful copy of the web page being rendered by your browser as a single HTML file. It's default location is ~/Downloads.

singlefile2trilium is composed of two scripts:

1. singlefile2trilium-sender.py script continuously watches ~/Downloads directory for new html pages saved by SingleFile and sends them to trilium.
2. singlefile2trilium-handler.js is a trilium custom request handler. It handles and converts data sent by singlefile2trilium-sender.py.

The handler wraps the html content into an html iframe, which is itself rendered by a render note.
