This is a really cool concept. A lot of my "web foraging" (love that expression) or data foraging really is exactly what he's mentioning here.

Also made me think of a related extension https://braintool.org/ - whose job is to grab and organize your bookmarks into an org file.

I could see these two concepts being combined for pretty powerful bookmarks / personal knowledge-base without relying on a server and/or without having to go through extra steps to get the data out.

The custom selectors on Electric Tables is pretty cool, too - kind of a web-scraping light for ad-hoc scraping.

All too often I find myself with a project that's not quite worth writing a scraper, but also worth building a Google Sheet around. Electric Tables seems like it could help those cases a lot.

Agreed, very cool concept. I've thought about being able to manually grab page contents into BrainTool notes but having a per-topic custom selector would be next level!
