I wrote a simple Firefox extension some time ago for myself. It copies the current URL as a Markdown link, and if there's text selected, it copies that too. I use it all the time to paste links into my notes. Maybe someone will find it useful. I know there are many extensions like this, but they all seem too complicated — this one is just a single button, and doesn't require extra permissions.

I Write LikeHere is some news about I Write Like: its new feature allows you to preserve single line breaks in the preview. You can use the toggle and type your poem in a neat column without any extra Markdown. The blog post shows how it looks.
Also, I loved the poem used in the example.
Since Mastodon has RSS feeds and Calcish has feedTable() function, why not just read Mastodon in it? :)

Just released Calcish 1.9. Asset cells with images are now included as context for AI cells in the notebook: https://calcish.com/blog/2026/03/18/calcish-1-9-released/
@nikitonsky also, TextEdit exposes favorites in the style list
@nikitonsky I think I only used it once — it's very confusing, but basically, the buttons navigate the styles in the document. You can then select text with the style or apply one to selected text.
