Sanket (ID: 0000006aed050fa4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/08/2023 please give option to pin sidebar, although the extension is awesome.

Arek Łuczyk (ID: 0000000960a91ba7) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/12/2023 A good idea but needs some improvements. Still Ctrl+T opens the extension and there's no possibility to turn it off and only use the icon if that's your preference. A left side pane doesn't stay open, you have to open it manually each time you open the extension. It would be nice it the editor could use the spellchecker built into the browser.

Rhythm Ruparelia (ID: 000000e320b65cc9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/07/2023 Great extension and very useful for daily note taking. I faced one issue - The color of single line code (pink color) is not that visible in dark mode. It would be great if there is a higher contrast for it. Or if we can customize the colors from the extension options.
