João Alexandre (JA) (ID: 00000052cd2839e5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/17/2020 **Portuguese** Com esta extensão, posso guardar notas diretamente nos websites que visito, mesmo que não sejam necessariamente cursos, se bem que é com cursos que estou a usar o Beastnotes. Por exemplo, estou usar o Beastnotes no Coursera, em que criei um notebook num curso que estou a fazer, tirando notas em lições que acho úteis. Esta extensão é freemium: > Plano Student: até 3 notebooks por $0.00 > Plano Scholar: até 10 notebooks por $2.99/mês > Plano Sage: até 20 notebooks por $4.99/mês Provavelmente gostas de coisas gratuitas, mas nota que se não ajudamos os developers, a malta deixa de conseguir ter tempo e recursos para poder desenvolver extensões tão úteis quanto esta. Como diz o ditado, o melhor investimento que podes fazer é em ti mesmo. **English** With this extension, I can save notes from the websites I visit, even if they're not necessarily courses, although it is with courses that I'm using Beastnotes. For eg., I'm using Beastnotes on Coursera, I created a notebook of a course I'm going through, taking notes of lessons I find useful. This is a freemium extension: > Student plan: up to 3 notebooks for $0.00 > Scholar plan: up to 10 notebooks for $2.99/mo > Sage plan: up to 20 notebooks for $4.99/mo You probably life free things, but note that if we don't help developers, they start being able to have the time and resources to develop extensions so useful as this one. Someone said the best investment you can make is the one you do in yourself.
