a tool that converts text formatting so it pastes correctly into slack, discord, notion, whatsapp etc

Or, just hear me out now, make some form of Unicode for formatting

Oh goody. A vibecoded platform that expects all my clipboard input, presumably archiving it in their db to then sell onwards. Niceeee! Certainly will bookmark it. /s

To be fair anyone can claim that, and at a quick glance it's not like they link to the source code of the website to prove that.

This is the way, but note that CTRL+Shift+V is not supplied by the operating system, it's something each software has to implement. Most, but not all, do.

I've also adjusted my browser so it copies just the text in the URL instead of the webpage title, so it won't get transformed when pasting URL's from my browser. Ugh, this is such a perfect example of what's wrong with modern web browsers. You selected text and pressed the copy command? Well, sure, we could copy the text you selected, but what if we copied completely different text instead?

It feels like half the posts in this sub are just "I created this website", and it's vibe coded AI trash.

Ya its so annoying. I copy "https://www.reddit.com" and it pastes "Reddit - The heart of the internet". So annoying. I'm glad there is a setting in the browser to change this though. It should be on by default! I also just realized Reddit's slogan is no longer "front page of the internet" but now "heart of the internet" lol.

If you right click you can also paste as plain text.

oh wow, and here I was using notepad.exe to paste to and then recopy from, for years now...

I'd rather use CTRL+SHIFT+V to paste. I'm gonna pass. I've also adjusted my browser so it copies just the text in the URL instead of the webpage title, so it won't get transformed when pasting URL's from my browser.

![You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?](https://i.imgflip.com/8zgv85.jpg] Your choice to trust an unnamed person online. If it was really about convenience such a thing is so easy to do with a CLI instead or at least they'd opensource the AI slop they've produced.

This looks interesting for maintaining formatting. As a reminder when you're pasting something and don't want to keep the formatting, such as into a note from an email, CTL+SHIFT+V will paste the text without formatting.

“100% secure check out!” Security by design.

This has Claude written all over it. Vibecoded stuff isnt what makes the internet beautiful

Doesnt pandoc do the same thing?

you can use CTRL+SHIFT+V, it works by default, do we really need this tool?

Bro this is cool, but I think I need markdown to confluence doc style

Great idea! Perhaps one day, someone will come up with something like this, but integrated into OS. Due time I'd say.

I have this issue sometimes, especially copying markdown (from Obsidian) to Gmail. Bookmarked!
