Quick flomo“笺” is a sheet
for short letters
影笺 (Quick flomo) is a third-party browser extension for flomo. Independent developer Ward makes and maintains it at Shadow Lab.
Where the name 影笺 comes from
A 笺 was a small sheet of paper for writing short letters in the past. Reading web pages can work the same way: don't carry the whole article home. Keep one clear slip of paper.
A 笺 holds your excerpt, your thoughts and a source you can trace back to the original. It goes into flomo next to your other cards, where you can search for it and use it again.
Who makes it
Quick flomo is made and maintained by independent developer Ward. Ward started Shadow Lab, a personal product lab that makes simple, reliable small tools for real situations. To learn more about Ward, see wardlu.com.
