Is there A Way To Convert Websites Easily To RTM?
jczelust says:
I blog and would love to use some sort of 'web clipper' to convert a web page into a task. There was a competitor to RTM that had this capability and it was phenomenal. It was phenomenal until that didn't have an app for my Kindle Fire HD which I need.
Is there a browser that has this type of extension? Can you shoot me a link if there is? It would be a monumental asset.
Thanks for your time!

Hi jczelust,
We don't currently have a service that converts web pages to tasks, sorry. However, we do offer the Quick Add Bookmarklet which you can add to your browser's bookmarks bar. This makes it easy to add a task while you're browsing. While the bookmarklet doesn't include a URL field, you can also add a web page's URL to the task for easy retrieval later.
Hope this helps!

You could make your own bookmarklet using this code (spaces inserted for clarity, remove if needed):
javascript:(function(){h='m.rememberthemilk.com';p='/add';if(window.getSelection) {t=window.getSelection();}else%20if(document.getSelection) {t=document.getSelection();}else%20if(document.selection) {t=document.selection.createRange().text;}; cp='http://'+h+p+'?name='+((null==t||t==""||t==undefined)?encodeURIComponent(document.title):t)+' &url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href); w=window.open(cp,'addwindow','status=no,toolbar=no,width=250,height=560,resizable=yes'); setTimeout(function(){w.focus();},500);})();
Some advantages over the Quick Add provided by RTM (RTM, feel free to copy ;-)
- uses the mobile version of the UI (well, not really an advantage, but a necessary step)
- uses browser's current URL in the new task's URL field
- if you have selected text, uses that as the task name, otherwise it uses the Page Title

This is helpful, thanks! I made the mistake of assuming the Quick Add bookmarklet included the URL, which left me confused with a batch of todos with no URL. And, where are GMail link stored? I can't see them outside the RTM-GMail browser plugin.
Bob, please have your team update your Quick Add bookmarklet to include a URL... your URL field in each task is a great feature, so use it!
