You just opened up a world for me I hadn't thought about! So simple! Thank you!
You're welcome! If you're interested in getting into GTD in Evernote (which I highly recommend), I wrote a blog post a while back about my setup: https://www.tempestblog.com/2017/08/16/how-i-stay-organized-...

It is stil not a specification like restructuredText[1]. Also wikiMarkup (which really started this markdown) is different from GitHub markdown, which is different from other markdown editors. Also many sites use their own markdown versions. If you are in restructuredText world there is one specification and all implementation adhere to it, be it pandoc, sphinx, pelican, nikola. The beauty of it is that it has extens…
I don't know why markdown is so popular other than maybe "it was easy to get running" or "works for me". It's better than "designed by a committee" standards, but it lacks elegance or maybe craftsmanship.
You don't really get bit by its lack of a standard and extensibility until after you've bought in.
It's essentially designed by the opposite of a committee -- rather than including everything but the kitchen-sink, it contains support for almost no usecases except the one. Which is very appealing, when you only have the one usecase.

Because its inherently appealing, close to what you wanted intuitively, and if you're only dealing with a single implementation of it, works fairly well.

So markdown needs to thank the popularity of Wikipedia for its success, as rst did not have any application like Wikipedia. But still rst is used widely enough with its killer Sphinx, readthedocs and now its kind of de-facto documentation writing markup in Python and many open source software world.

Let's be honest with ourselves. The best way to make your content last for a long time is to host it on a platform that is free and very successful. For example, whatever photos I posted on Facebook 12 years ago? Still alive and kicking. The articles I've published on wordpress.com 7 years ago? Still in mint condition, with 0 maintenance required. In comparison, the websites that I've built and hosted or deployed mys…

Also, in most cases even you would have a very hard time accessing them, unless you somehow "pinned" them not to be far far down the scroller.

oh, hello! It's funny how this subject has popped up again.
Hi! I think it confirms that there's a real interest in this feature.

Shout out to https://joplinapp.org/ I was an Evernote user when I was on macOS. When I switched to Linux, a proper web clipper was something I really missed. I'm now on Joplin and it does everything I used to use Evernote for and then some. It even has vim bindings now! As far as longevity goes, I think they got their archive / backup format right - it's just a tarball with markdown in it.
No need of proprietary code and apps why not build it into browsers. I have seen Firefox and Chrome can download web pages. So it will be nicer if they can download the bookmarked pages and store in a local html, css, image folder. I think it's pretty easy to achieve. Also people need to move away from those esoteric reactjs, angular, vuejs and plethora of CMS as API or static site generators relying on some js frame…
Safari does this. pages added to the reading list archive the content for offline reading.
