@publicvoit I just realized from reading the .textbundle/.textpack spec (it's basically a text document with assets grouped in one folder) that the text file's format is not constrained to Markdown per se.
.textpack is basically a zipped bundle, and that would work beautifully with org!

It's an open convention to, well, bundle assets with plain text files.
Like RTFD includes images in the RTF.
Or rather doc/otf then did, because RTFD never took off outside of classic Mac I think?
But .textbundle is just a directory with a certain directory structure for apps to make sense of and find assets next to the text document.
And .textpack is just a zipped .textbundle.
@kickingvegas @publicvoit I've created a browser extension that produces a Readability mode export of a website with images in a .textpack and that works beautifully for archiving illustrated articles:

It relies on HTML→Markdown converter Turndown:

Outside of Emacs I don't know of any HTML→org converter. That would be great as a JS package, then the browser extension could support both
@laotang @kickingvegas @publicvoit Also the Mac-centricity of the idea -- yes. The package file 'trick' by the OS and the ease in which you can register new file types with any app is a catalyst for these things, I believe.
But by now, implementing tools that support this convention should be implement-able for Linux just as well.
@laotang I would eventually like to as well, I think.
What's the tech stack you use at work?
