Here are a few ideas for future enhancements to Plucker. First is clipboarding. I know it's on the list, and I'm sure there are other, more pressing things to do, but it's something I miss sorely. Book titles from reviews, restaurant addresses, URLs given as text, tips and tricks, references, recipes, etc. -- these are all things I now write (via graffiti) or copy (via ClipStringHack), neither of which are ideal solutions. Please, please -- pretty please, beg, grovel -- consider moving this up in the list of priorities!
Second is a "wouldn't it be nice" idea. At this point, we can point Plucker to an .html file and have it plucked. What if we could do the same with a file displayed in the browser? Go to a site, right-click, select "Send to Plucker", and voil�, page is plucked. Perhaps even with a selected block only...? Third and last is an idea borrowed from sitescooper. Sitescooper does an admirable job of scooping and paring down pages, but sometimes it feels like overkill. What if Plucker had two more options, something like pluckfrom="string" and pluckto="string"? Only what is between the two strings would be parsed (in the <body> section), with 'top' and 'bottom' as defaults if either one is missing (i.e., the full <body> section). If implemented so that only one such tuple is allowed, we could, for instance, get rid of mastheads, navigation bars and third-column ads while still allowing images to be plucked from the main part of the page (based on the existing options for images, that doesn't have to be changed). If multiple tuples are allowed, individual sections can be included or ignored as well. Just a thought. Thank you for reading this!
