Marjan Venema (ID: 000000fd997effb9) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/06/2022 Like this extension. Simple and straightforward. Would give it 5 starts if it didn't automatically schedule tasks for today. Either leave them unscheduled or give us an option to set the default schedule date to "unscheduled", "today", or some other time offset.

Thomas Vander Stichele (ID: 000000a921090b16) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/22/2022 Thanks, simple and straightforward. Like some others, I'd prefer to have the link in the task rather than in the notes, removing steps to access it. Notes are not Marvin's strongest feature.

Leslie Camacho (ID: 000000ecb432ebad) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/10/2021 Thank you for taking the time to make this! Yes there is stuff I would love but its 5 stars for this existing at all and working! It does what I need it to do!

Calvin Lang (ID: 000000a96deb36a5) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/03/2021 Love it. But one suggestion is to have it take a markdown of the link name with the URL.
