Has anyone figured out a way to send bookmarks / clippings / etc. to
TiddlyWiki, similar to Evernote?

So when you're browsing a Web page you want to save, click bookmarks >
MyTwBookmarklet, and it will

# open up an input box that prompts you to enter any tags and lets you
edit the title (from page's <TITLE> tag)
## maybe you delimit them with a semicolon or some character, or
## 2 separate prompts, or
## popup an HTML form with various fields
### sendto address (pre-populated in bookmarklet code, you can
override)
### title (from page <TITLE> tag)
### tags dropdown with pre-populated tags
# click submit
# emails a "purestore" XML tiddler to your address, containing
## subject line with
### text to let you identify the message as a tiddler (or embed this
info in your email address, like gmail lets you do, ie myaddress
[email protected])
### page title
## the current page's URL
## plain or rich text/HTML contents of the clipboard if anything is
selected
# closes the popup (if a form is used)

This way as long as you have the bookmarklet, you can send yourself
stuff on any device. You can publish the bookmarklet out on the Web
somewhere and as long as you remember where, you can get to it from
wherever.

The one thing that would be better would be some way to get the device
to do this right from the page (ie right-click or long-click on the
link you want to send) so you don't have to go into your bookmarks and
click the bookmarklet.  But maybe that's unavoidable.

The ugliest part is then your email client needs to be smart enough to
automatically identify & export these tiddler-emails to a folder on
your computer, and you can then just import them into your
TiddlyWiki.  (I use Outlook at home (since I know VBA) so I'd have to
write a script to do that part.  I'm not sure how hard it is to do for
other clients like Thunderbird.)

It would have to work for multiple browsers/devices like iOS, etc. I'm
pretty sure an inputbox or HTML form generated on the fly is doable,

Anyway, is all this something someone has done already or done
better?

Any info appreciated...thanks
