Capture a reference page into Obsidian or Roam in one keystroke. The link stays readable in source view and clickable in preview. No more pasting title and URL separately and then formatting by hand.
Writing a README or internal wiki page and need to cite a spec, a Stack Overflow answer, or a GitHub issue? One click gives you a properly formatted Markdown link without breaking your writing flow.
Building a reading list in a Markdown file or a GitHub Gist? Velvet Ridge Path lets you add each source as a formatted link as you go, so your list is tidy from the start rather than a pile of bare URLs.
Velvet Ridge Path was built by @kusano_k to solve a specific, recurring annoyance: you find a page worth saving, you switch to your notes app, you paste the URL, then you go back to the browser to copy the title, then you go back to your notes and type the Markdown brackets by hand. That sequence takes maybe thirty seconds. Multiply it by every link you save in a week and it adds up to a real interruption to thinking.
The extension is categorized under Accessibility in the Chrome Web Store, which reflects the design philosophy: it follows Chrome's recommended extension practices, requests only the permissions it needs, and does not use content scripts. That last point matters more than it sounds. Content scripts run inside every page you visit. This extension doesn't. It reads only the active tab's title and URL when you explicitly click the icon, and it writes only to your clipboard. Nothing else happens.
It comes out as [Page Title](https://example.com/page). Standard Markdown inline link syntax. If you're on a page titled 'Getting Started' at docs.example.com/start, you get [Getting Started](https://docs.example.com/start). Paste it into any Markdown editor and it renders as a clickable link.
Yes. Most extensions inject content scripts into pages, which Chrome blocks on internal URLs. This extension doesn't use content scripts at all. It reads the tab title and URL through the standard Chrome extension API, so chrome://extensions, chrome://settings, and similar pages all work fine.
Yes. Go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts in your browser, find Velvet Ridge Path in the list, and assign any shortcut you like. After that, the shortcut fires the copy silently without any mouse interaction.
It requests activeTab (to read the current tab's title and URL when you click the icon) and clipboardWrite (to write the formatted link to your clipboard). That's it. No tabs permission, no history, no storage, no network access.
No. The extension has no analytics, no telemetry, and makes no network requests. The title and URL of the tab you're on are read locally, formatted locally, and written to your local clipboard. Nothing leaves your machine.
