Played around with it, quite cool but I am having issues with the tables. They don't seem to have distinguishable borders and are acting strange (cannot tell whether I am adding columns, issues deleting them, and a few other things).

I'll be keeping it added to chrome and experimenting though, seems like a really nice idea. Would be cool to not have to sign into an account though.

Edit: I changed my mind on reflection, I really would only want to use this if I have the option to store the data locally or at least export it.

Thanks for the feedback (working on the tables, hot fix soon).

I'm actually implementing some local and "free" cloud storage using (icloud sync or google drive cloud backup). That way users have more control of their data and you can even export to markdown/pdf.

Stretch goals: I'll throw in a desktop version as well (mac first).

Makes sense! Because it does force me to context-switch if I have to open a browser to consult my notes. Browsers are notoriously distracting as well.

The browser extension looks good and functions well, but for me it would be more useful as a front-end to an existing note taking app (in my case, Notion).

Another thing I noticed: keyboard events while typing in a note seem to still be sent to the underlying page, which may react weirdly to that.

Thanks for the feedback.

Patching the keyboard bug in today's update. I'll start sharing more of the desktop version after I implement local storage and cloud sync.

Neat UI. Keep up the good work.

It does not open the plugin. Do I miss something?

You might have to reload the tab you’re on to start the plugin after a fresh install.

Nice work.
