Notepad Extension

It allows you to create and organize multiple notes in different directories, called notebooks. The extension automatically saves your changes, so you don't have to manually save your notes. It is also integrated into the right-click context menu, allowing you to append the currently selected text to a note without opening the editor. The extension's user interface (UI) can be displayed in a browser tab or as a separate window. To switch between these modes, use the right-click options on the action button.

Patrick Pangonilo (ID: 0000006a61a7a511) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/06/2023 Every time I try to undo my work on a certain note, it will always reverts to previous note that I have used before. It doesn't matter if the current note I'm using was on idle or not, it will revert it to an unrelated note no matter what you do. Aside from that, it works fine. Edit: the more I use this app, the more I'm starting to hate it. You can even make any certain changes on the format itself. It just follows it's own thing. If the devs don't anything about the format of the app, like line spacing editor, I'll stop using this thing if I get annoyed enough.

James Healy (ID: 00000005691a9f15) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/16/2018 It's an impressive piece of work, but let down by a lack of export and sync options. The only export format is JSON whereas printing, saving to ODF, PDF, or even HTML would be useful. Without that or the ability to sync between browsers there's no reason to use this instead of Google Docs.
