This lets me clip a webpage in markdown format to simplenote on my phone which I can then view in NvAlt on my mac.

Largely cribbed from Phillip Gruneich's Evernote clipper: http://philgr.com/blog/save-articles-from-the-web-on-evernote-from-ios which uses Brett's http://heckyesmarkdown.com/ API for the conversion.
