Thanks for letting me know about org-protocol-capture-html, I had not
seen it. Capturing text directly to an Org file sounds more
manageable.

Great idea, maybe as part of a post-processing hook? Then we could save
the HTML as a backup (for later web browsing) and then include the
primary text in the Org file for easy viewing straight from Emacs.
Seems your package is already well-suited to that part. :)
I also wanted to keep the design relatively abstract so that things like
this could be added later. One other feature idea that could be
implemented as a post-processing hook is responding to "downloadable"
links (like links to YouTube videos) by running a backend program (in
this case, "youtube-dl") to go take care of fetching the apprapriate
content.

It's helpful to see an example of org-capture in use, I still have more
to learn about it. I'll put a little example in the README for
org-board.
Cheers,
