I want to be able to capture "snippets" from a source that are separate from the entire (archived) thing
so that I don't have to reread the whole thing to figure out out what I found valuable about it, or to find the useful quote (or whatever) that I found in it.

a "snippet" is an interesting piece of text, like a quote from a book.
You may also have multiple snippets per source.
I think the Snippet model is - initially - embedded as an Array in Bookmark, but eventually could be embedded in other things.
Bookmark → has_many → Snippets
Book → has_many →Snippets
Podcast → has_many → Snippets

Adding a Snippet
From a web page
bookmarklet / plugin takes selected text and creates a new Snippet for that. If there is a Bookmark for that page it just appends to the array of Snippets. If there isn't it creates a bare-bones bookmark.
From anything else

- a text area for whatever text you're grabbing.
- a "source" pull-down
- Web Page (probably never used)
- Book
- author, title
- review url (optional)
- type-ahead pulldown of Books in Backup Brain (future)
- Movie
- Podcast
Maybe Podcast is another object in the system and the only way to add a snippet from a podcast is to choose the podcast, and episode from pull-downs.
If the text you're pasting is Markdown and has an Image tag in it, then that image would be archived like any other image from page content.

I think I'd like to see a global setting that toggles if Snippets are displayed inline in the feed or not.

Basically the same as it is now, but with the snippets in boxes below the heading and above the archived text.
Editing
A snippet is editable directly and doesn't have the versioning concerns of an archive.
