Hey Product Hunt, maker here. I built Select to PDF after one too many research sessions where I ended up with a Word doc full of unsourced quotes and no idea which article they came from.
The two things I cared most about: every snippet has to remember where it came from, and nothing leaves your machine. It's free and will stay that way. Would love your feedback, especially on the export formatting.
