Vicente Castro (Vicho) (ID: 00000056cc1aabe1) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/22/2022 I love the interface of this extension, which allows me to take notes super quickly, but there are a couple of things that worsen my experience. First of all, when I press "enter" as to write a new paragraph, the initial text moves up and becomes invisible on the screen. Second, there should be a way to organize the text size / font because it gets messed up when I copy/paste something from another website. Lastly, I wish there was an option to separate notes, just so I don't have to write about something totally unrelated all the time.
