Do you plan on creating a firefox extension?
Unfortunately, I don't. I'm not using Firefox right now and I don't have enough time to work on it. There's also no marketplace for the extensions. Sorry!
This isn’t for me, but I am curious how you integrate things into OmniFocus
They have a pretty powerful omnifocus:// URL-based API.
I’m a long time user of OmniFocus but I’m not sure I understand the use case: do you often save web pages as tasks?
It's a matter of personal workflow, but I do it all the time. I try to add tasks for things that I want or need to read, including work-related stuff, like Basecamp posts that require my response, so that I actually get to them.

The goal, for me, is to not get distracted by reading things when I should be doing things, so I try to postpone the reading until a more appropriate moment. However, to do that without stress, I need to be able to trust the system enough to know that I'm definitely going to get to that reading later – during a review, or earlier.

I noticed that if I don't have a task for links to read, I end up either reading them right away (damn FOMO) or they disappear into a black hole, because there's just too much stuff in my head to remember everything.

I do it all the time too. OF acts as 'read-it-later' service for me, at least for the sites/products i want to check later when i have more time/want to relax
I didn't actually know about OmniFocus. It looks amazing. Might buy it tonight.
What you built is fine. I’m curious where the customers will come from. Tried search ads on Mac App Store? At $3.99 you should at least break even
Right now I'm not thinking that far ahead. I scratched my own itch and I'm glad someone else found it useful. I'll see about those ads though, thanks for the tip!
What does this do that the provided clipping feature does not?
Pre-fills the page title, meta description, attach a screenshot, or headline image, and allows you to preselect tags/project to attach the clipping to automatically.
