Metafetch 0.3.0 — a screenshot of the website, saved in your note

A note about a tool can now show the tool. Run Fetch screenshots from website and Metafetch captures the site in the note's url, saves the image in your vault, and embeds it under ## Screenshots.

Why Care?

Link cards tell a reader what a page is. A screenshot shows them. Our toolkit notes always had a place for screenshots and almost never had any in it, because capturing, saving, and embedding one by hand is a chore that loses to everything else.

What's New?

• Fetch screenshots from website. Captures the page through Microlink, saves it to your attachments folder with the date in its name, and embeds it with a caption linking to the page.

• No key needed for about 50 screenshots a day. A Microlink key, under the existing Microlink setting, raises the limit.

• Saved, not linked. Microlink's image links expire, so the image is downloaded and kept in your vault.

• Additive. Existing screenshots stay, including ones Perplexed's screenshot search found, and the two commands are designed to be run together.

Good to Know

• The capture is the top of the page at desktop width, not the full scrolling page.

• The command uses the note's url, or its only URL-valued property.

Under the Hood

• src/services/microlinkScreenshotService.ts — screenshot=true&meta=false, with the same error handling and rate-limit message as Fetch via Microlink.

• src/commands/fetchScreenshotIntoNote.ts — download, vault.createBinary at the attachment path, and the embed via generateMarkdownLink, so it follows your link format.

• src/utils/screenshotsSection.ts — the ## Screenshots writer: appends after existing images, replaces a placeholder, ignores headings inside code fences.
