I actually do all of those things you mentioned but also like to keep things simple and take my notes on iAWriter on my iPhone which syncs with iCloud and is very conveniently available on my iPad and Mac as well. Haven’t found a more simple and markdown supporting application in years. You don’t need to dump all functionalities of your phone to enjoy life.
Fair, fair. My comment was pretty tongue in cheek anyway.
I was going to suggest to the GP that they take a screenshot, and then process it later on, when they do their weekly review or something. If the URL isn't fully captured in the screenshot (because smartphones are woeful pieces of dogshit remember), then they could search for the article. Adding that extra friction is a Good Thing in my opinion, because it forces you to consider whether accumulating all that extra burdensome information is worth the friction. But your solution is smoother :)
