canSnippet: cansnippet.com

It's a snippet/clipboard manager for macOS. I worked on that project a few years ago and sold a dozen copies. I still use it every day and I feel like it could be helpful to many other users. That's why I decided to have a look at it again, start by updating a bit the code and also providing a Linux and Windows version, let's see how much time I can dedicate to it. What makes canSnippet really useful is the powerful keyboard shortcuts to create from and use a snippet in any app.

canSnippet (cansnippet.com), an advanced snippet/clipboard manager. I sold a dozen copies of the app without any marketing and then moved away from it. It's a tool I still use every day and feel it's a pity that I couldn't put more effort on it as I believe it has a huge potential!

Ex-bioinformatician here :) I had a very similar idea during my post-doc but gave up as I realized how difficult it was to deal with research groups (labs). They would usually just hire an intern bioinformatician using grant (or extra) money instead of dealing with an external company. I am only talking about Switzerland, I don't know what the situation is in other places. You can check these two companies and maybe reach out to ask some questions: - https://genexa.ch/ - https://www.fasteris.com/dna/ Good luck!

Ok, I don't understand any Russian :) but it seems there is a plugin on the Opera addons store (https://addons.opera.com/ru/extensions/details/wallabagger/?...). This addon is mentioned on the following Wallabag page (https://www.wallabag.org/blog_index.html). Hope it works.

EDIT: you can also have a look at Respawn (https://github.com/broncowdd/respawn). It is not as advanced as Wallabag, but it also saves a copy of any webpage to your own server.
