Hello.

I am Paul Kinlan.

I love the web. The web should allow anyone to access any experience that they need without the need for native install or content walled garden.

Scroll to text bookmarklet

Paul Kinlan

Just saw that Scroll To Text Fragment is launching in Chrome 81! This feature lets you link to specific text within a page, which is awesome. I created a bookmarklet that grabs your selected text and generates a link using the new :~:text= fragment identifier. Drag the "Find in page" link to your bookmarks bar to try it out. The bookmarklet currently selects whole words, but I'm planning on adding some logic to handle partial word selections better. You can also easily modify the bookmarklet to copy the generated link to the clipboard instead of opening a new window.
