Mobile weblinking and overall webclipping

I'm running the latest iOS on an iPhone 15 Pro Max, with the latest Capacities app. When I try to capture a weblink from Chrome using the menu that directs to capture into Capacities, I keep getting what appears to be proper link populated content, but then in the notes section is just say "Web", which is linked but carries none of the relevant content in the weblink within notes.
This obviously makes this kind of common capture a lot more effort, bordering on not worth doing. This seems to have changed, since before it seemed to work as expected.

Not actively worked on, moved to open for now.

Hi, I’m still having issues with the mobile app experience creating a weblink. When I add a new weblink in mobile a couple of bad things happen every time.
- I always try to tag right away and the app crashes.
- when I restart the app, the link capture is still there, it allows me to tag, but then it just shows “web” in my notes. (Attached)
This is a very common use case for collecting articles to support research. Any further ideas? I’ve got to believe others rely on this capability often.

Ok, I may have found the issue. It’s happening when I try to clip out of Google Search mobile app. Capacities is crashing when I clip to the app. Again, using 144.3 on the latest iOS and the latest Google Search app.

Seems like it might be working now. Not sure what changed. Using 144.3

Unfortunately, I am not able to reproduce the issue. Does the problem still occur with Capacities v1.44.30?

We'll look into it, thanks for reporting.
