Summary:

With the new copy-paster templates you can quickly copy search results, pages and annotations to the clipboard in a custom format.

This allows you to quickly paste them into your own workflows and apps.

How to use this feature:

Create a template by clicking on the "copy/paste" icon that you find above the search results, in the annotation sidebar on the top right, or on each page or note card.
You can use several placeholders for the data about a page or note. See examples and syntax below.
After saving a template you can click on its name to copy the content of your template into the clipboard

Examples:

Use the ▼ icon to unfold the sections

Markdown:

[{{{PageTitle}}}]({{{PageUrl}}})

HTML Page Title and Page Url:

<a href="{{{PageUrl}}}">{{{PageTitle}}}</a>

Support a Venture Capital free service

We want to protect users and their data from profit maximisation incentives resulting from uncapped profit potential. Memex is built without equity-based Venture Capital investments and caps investor and team profits . We want to build a service that people are willing to pay for because it solves problems for them, not grow at all costs with free services to then build privacy violating business models on top.

If Memex is already useful, you can see yourself using it for a few years or you want to support an alternative way of running a business, you can support us with our $150 Pioneer plan while we are in beta. In return it'll give you (at least) 3 years of Memex subscriptions once we launch them.
