Solve this data sharing problem..

Just wondering if anyone is interested to solve this problem. Or has had similar expeirence?

Sometimes I want to share some web data from behind a logged in website to other people.
Problem is copying and pasting it is usually a mess.
Taking a screenshot doesn't work as soon as it requires scrolling down to see all the data.
Even my AwesomeScreenshot google plugin tool which has an auto scroll down feature won't even work on some sites. (something to do with the frame?)
Plus the image version of data is less re-usable.

What would be nice is a scraper/parser plugin, that reads the site data, provides a simple preview window (in new tab) and allows you to approve or adjust settings to make sure the data is intact. And then share a link off to that data set.

Solves problems;
no reason to invite/share logins with 3rd parties.
keeps data in original format

Here's example of the type of data page I mean, which has another 2 or 3 of page data below whats visible.

    It's already done.
    You can do it with evernote
    you can do it with google docs
    you can do it with o365

    even if they are not "web pages" they usually have good formatting support from copy&paste.

    or maybe even "pocket" addon to chrome
