Also on GitHub: Releases

[1.2.1] - 2026-04-20

Added

  • YouTube Transcript Cleanup: Added cleanUpLineBreaks (enabled by default) to merge fragmented transcript lines when timestamps are disabled while preserving speaker, sound effect, and chapter boundaries.

Fixed

  • YouTube Transcript Extraction: Restored transcript text extraction for YouTube's latest transcript DOM where segment text is rendered with ytAttributedStringHost.
  • Embedded Data Images: Omitted inline data:image payloads from universal and article Markdown extraction to prevent base64 images from creating oversized outputs.

[1.2.0] - 2026-03-15

Added

  • X Integration (Posts + Articles): Added extraction for X/Twitter posts and long-form articles with metadata, quoted-post blocks, richer media handling, metrics-context output, and dedicated settings/KPI tracking.
  • Floating Button UX (Glass + Mode Hint): Added a default frosted-glass button style, a pre-click mode hint badge (Article or Page), and consistent translucent loading/success/error glass states; article-detected info notifications are now off by default in favor of the hint.
  • YouTube Chapters Toggle: Added includeChapters (enabled by default) to include or skip chapter headers and the ## Chapters section in transcript output.

Fixed

  • YouTube Transcript (New UI): Restored transcript extraction for YouTube's updated transcript panel DOM while preserving compatibility with the legacy transcript layout.
  • YouTube Chapters Extraction: Added chapter extraction support for YouTube's new transcript UI (timeline-chapter-view-model), rendering chapters both inline as section headers and as a dedicated ## Chapters summary section with timestamps.
  • X Video Media Extraction: Improved X video output by extracting direct video links when available and falling back to a permalink + poster-thumbnail capture for blob-backed video players.

Removed

  • Last Extraction Status (Popup): Removed the popup banner and related lastExtraction local-storage writes/reads to reduce UI noise and simplify popup state.
