Changelog
User-facing changes, newest month first. Each date is a day the change landed, or a later day when one note has to mention an earlier change. A note is never dated before the change it describes. Months with no user-facing change are left out. This list is not a promise of future work.
Read a line as history, not as a catalog of what the site offers today. Routes that were removed are marked that way. /examples and the old example articles are gone. They redirect to the URL to Markdown tool, and that redirect started on 31 October 2026, not on 16 October. Current behavior for templates, ZIP files, and the subscription record is on Templates, ZIP export, and Pricing.
November 2026
- — Guides, use cases, pricing, and this changelog. The site published guides, use-case pages, a pricing page, this changelog, and feature pages for templates and ZIP export. A pricing page had existed earlier and was removed on 6 April 2026. This is that URL coming back, describing the Paddle subscription as it works now. Download .zip is not listed there as a Premium-only action, and Notion save is described as not currently available.
- — About, Contact, and Privacy. Public About, Contact, and Privacy pages landed so product background and data handling can be read without opening the extension. The same day, requests that ask for Markdown stopped receiving a Markdown error page on real HTML pages. The site also published llms.txt guidance for agents and organization details for search engines on the homepage.
- — Markdown responses for agents. The homepage can return a short Markdown summary when the visitor asks for Markdown. Unknown paths can return a Markdown error page that points at the homepage, the URL tool, and the sitemap. The document language was set to English.
October 2026
- — Example hub removed, related links added. The /examples section was removed. Old example article routes, and /examples itself, now redirect to the URL to Markdown tool. They are not separate sample articles. Feature pages also gained related links across the tools, Send to AI, and the alternative write-ups. Those sample articles are not current pages.
- — Example articles removed. Unused example article pages were removed. Those routes redirected to /examples. They did not yet redirect to the URL to Markdown tool. That later redirect is the 31 October change, when /examples itself was removed. The same day, the Chrome Web Store listing name and description were updated around webpage-to-Markdown wording.
- — Longer API route budget. The public Markdown API can now run for up to 120 seconds, so a slow public page has more time before the request is stopped. Each attempt to fetch the page still stops on its own shorter limit.
- — HTML to Markdown tool and a small-screen menu. A page for pasting HTML and converting it in the browser was added. The site header gained a menu that fits narrow screens, so the navigation links no longer overflow the bar.
- — URL tool, alternatives, and multi-assistant send. The public URL to Markdown tool shipped. Editorial pages for MarkDownload and for Obsidian Web Clipper shipped with it. On that tool, ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity open with the converted prompt in the query. Gemini has no query URL, so the tool copies the prompt and opens Gemini. The extension’s own Send to AI presets with a query URL are a separate list: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Grok.
September 2026
- — Markdown feature page and sitemap dates. The Markdown feature page was rewritten around converting a webpage to Markdown. The post-install welcome page was kept out of search results so it would not compete with the public pages. Search engines were given explicit dates for when public pages last changed. The homepage title and description refresh was 5 September.
- — Homepage metadata. Homepage title, description, and structured data were refreshed. The hand-maintained sitemap dates came two days later.
June 2026
- — Extension 0.5.1. Send to AI gained a Copy prompt action, which copies the resolved prompt without opening a chat. An unused cookies permission was removed so the Chrome Web Store review could proceed. The extension version was released as 0.5.1.
April 2026
- — Extension 0.5.0 and public feature pages. Extension 0.5.0 was released. Article extraction, which had moved to a dedicated reader on 17 March, was updated. The site published feature pages for Markdown conversion, the table of contents, and Send to AI. The extension’s own Markdown converter, which those pages describe, had landed the day before.
- — Custom Markdown converter. HTML-to-Markdown in the extension moved to WebInk’s own converter, so heading style, list markers, code fences, and emphasis follow the options you save. Settings gained Restore defaults for AI prompts and for templates. The public pricing page was removed from the site. It returned on 9 November 2026.
- — TOC matching and a settings navigation. Table-of-contents generation got better heading matching and numbering. The extension settings page was reorganized into a side navigation, so templates, Markdown style, formatting, the TOC, prompts, and platforms each have a screen instead of one long form.
- — AI platforms and prompts. The extension can manage assistant platforms and reusable prompts. You can add a platform, hide a preset, and keep prompt text for Send to AI. Restore defaults for prompts and templates came on 6 April.
March 2026
- — Article extraction. Article extraction in the extension moved to a dedicated reader. Markdown styling stayed on WebInk’s converter, so your style options still apply after the article is chosen.
- — Site footer. Marketing pages picked up a shared footer for product and legal links, including the developer page and the policies.
- — Side panel header. The panel header shows the page favicon and title, so you can see which tab the Markdown belongs to. AI Fix status text was clarified the same day. The AI Fix action itself had landed on 7 March.
- — ZIP export, a paused Notion action, and AI Fix. ZIP download of Markdown plus images landed. Download .zip packs successful remote images under images/ and leaves failed URLs in the note. A Notion save control was added the same day and then removed from the side panel. It is still not shown. AI Fix, which rewrites Markdown formatting in the panel, also landed this day. It is unavailable on a document longer than 100,000 characters.
- — API preflight. The Markdown API answers browser preflight requests that send a content type. Browsers on other sites cannot read the response. The API remains a public conversion endpoint for http and https pages that pass the address check.
February 2026
- — Extension 0.4.2. The extension version was released as 0.4.2. The release packages the preview work from 7 February.
- — Richer preview and stricter public fetches. The Markdown preview gained Mermaid diagrams and richer rendering, and the TOC view gained copy. The post-install welcome page was updated. Public URL fetches can try IPv6 when a hostname has no IPv4 address. Private and local addresses stay blocked.
January 2026
- — React Server Components security patch. The website stack received a published security update. This was not a new clipping feature.
September 2025
- — Extension 0.4.0, language picker, and API fetch strategies. The public Markdown API, first added in April, was rebuilt. A failed fetch is retried once, with a second browser identity. The side panel gained a translation language picker. The table of contents gained numbering and a highlight on the active heading. Extension 0.4.0 was released, and 0.4.1 followed the same day with store-listing copy that mentions the TOC and translation. The terms page picked up the site header.
- — Table of contents in the side panel. A table of contents built from the article headings landed, with the heading in view highlighted as you scroll. Extension 0.3.5 was released. Clicking a heading scrolls the page, accounting for a fixed header. Numbering and the language picker came on 11 September.
April 2025
- — OpenAPI for the conversion API. The public Markdown API gained a machine-readable description of the conversion request. A hosted docs explorer was added on 12 April and removed the same day, so the contract stayed with the API.
- — Public Markdown API. A public Markdown conversion API shipped, with request validation for the URL, an optional template string, and optional transform options. This is the first public API in the project history. The September rebuild added a second fetch attempt on top of it.
- — Extension 0.3.4. The side panel welcome message was expanded, and tab handling got stricter URL checks so the panel is less willing to convert a tab that is not a real page.
- — Extension 0.3.3. Template creation in settings was expanded, and the theme toggle was refined alongside the icon buttons in the panel. Extension 0.3.3 was released.
- — Prettier formatting and a theme toggle. Markdown formatting options landed: you can turn Prettier on, choose indent width, tabs, and whether code blocks are formatted. A theme toggle for the preview landed the same day. The 2 April work polished that toggle and the template form.
February 2025
- — Extension 0.3.0. The install flow opens a welcome page. Single-file Markdown download shipped, with a file name that replaces spaces with underscores and strips characters that are unsafe in a file name. Extension 0.3.0 was released. ZIP export did not exist yet. It arrived on 7 March 2026.
- — Translation toggle. The side panel can translate the converted Markdown. The language picker with a long list of target languages came later, on 11 September 2025. This day was the on/off translation path.
- — Markdown preview. The side panel gained a rendered Markdown preview, so you can read the conversion instead of only the source. Mermaid and the later renderer arrived in February 2026.
November 2024
- — Content translation. Translation of captured page content was added to the extension. The panel toggle that exposes translation came in February 2025.
October 2024
- — Sitemap and robots.txt. The public site started publishing sitemap.xml and robots.txt so crawlers could find the pages that existed then.
- — Custom 404. Unknown site URLs render the site’s own error page. The Markdown error page for visitors who ask for Markdown came later, on 1 November 2026.
- — API browser access. The Markdown API accepted browser calls from an allowlist, starting with localhost during development. Browser preflight support was expanded on 4 March 2026.
September 2024
- — Developer documentation. The developer page gained an API usage section and written API documentation, after the conversion endpoint and content negotiation had landed the day before.
- — Markdown style options. Settings gained transform options for the conversion: heading style, horizontal rules, list markers, code block style, and emphasis markers. Extension 0.2.2 was released. The converter that landed in April 2026 is the current engine behind those choices.
- — WebInk name, and the side panel on click. The product was renamed from SiteKeeper to WebInk. The side panel opens when you click the toolbar icon. The homepage gained an FAQ. The same day, the side panel started applying a template to the captured Markdown. The day before, settings gained a screen to add and edit templates, and the built-in Default template was protected from deletion.
How to use this list
If you are deciding whether a control exists, trust the feature page and the extension you have installed, then use this list to see when it arrived. ZIP export is the 7 March 2026 entry. The Notion control from that same day was turned off before the day ended and is not in the panel. The public URL tool is 12 October 2026. The HTML paste tool is 14 October 2026. Copy prompt on Send to AI is 25 June 2026. The pricing page you can open now is the 9 November 2026 publication, after the 6 April 2026 removal.
Version numbers such as 0.3.0, 0.4.2, and 0.5.1 are extension releases in this history. A release on the day after a feature means the feature is listed on the earlier day and the release is listed on its own day. Store-listing text and permission changes are included when a person installing the extension would notice them, as with the cookies permission removed for review in June 2026.
