+
+**Content**:
+```
+Hi HN! 👋
+
+I built Airtable Clipper after getting tired of manually copy-pasting LinkedIn profiles into my CRM. It's a Chrome extension that saves LinkedIn profiles, articles, and web content directly to Airtable with intelligent extraction.
+
+What makes it different:
+• One-click database setup (creates optimized Airtable base for you)
+• Smart data enrichment (guesses emails, scores lead quality)
+• Bulk operations (save 50+ profiles at once from search results)
+• Privacy-focused (all processing happens locally, no external servers)
+• Completely open source
+
+Built with Manifest V3, includes 33 specialized Airtable tools, and works on any website beyond just LinkedIn.
+
+The extension is free and takes 2 minutes to set up. I'd love your feedback!
