    I built Gemini Exporter because I use Gemini daily for research and coding, but getting the formatted output—especially complex markdown, tables, and code blocks—into my workspace was a frustrating copy-paste exercise that often broke the formatting.

    It's a browser extension that injects export options directly into the Gemini UI, allowing you to push conversations to Notion, Google Docs, or download them as Word/PDF files with a single click.

    How it works: > Under the hood, it parses the chat DOM to extract the raw markdown and context. For local exports (PDF/Word), the file generation is handled entirely client-side. For cloud exports (Notion/Google Docs), it connects to their respective APIs, ensuring the markdown syntax is properly converted into Notion blocks or Google Docs formatting.

    A note on privacy: > Since chat history can contain sensitive data, privacy was a priority. The extension does not collect, track, or route your conversations through any middleman servers. Everything is processed locally in your browser, and API keys (like your Notion integration token) are stored strictly in your local browser storage.

    I'd love for you to try it out. I’m currently looking for feedback on how it handles complex code snippets or edge-case formatting. Happy to answer any technical questions about building it or the DOM parsing process!

    Gemini Exporter looks quite practical, especially the local-first privacy model. I’m curious how Gemini Exporter handles long-term DOM changes and tricky formatting cases like nested markdown, large tables, and complex code blocks, because that is usually where these tools win or lose.
