Very nice! Hopefully it'll support syncing to google user account too.

Love it. I'd like to see something like this with markdown capabilities.

Also instead of taking over the newtab page it could use it own page :)

I never try these todo/organizing apps that are just another burden, but this seems different. The fact that it has no accounts its simplicity feels very good. I'll use it.

Why? Is markdown so important for you to take some notes?

There is a clever and simple code snippet to convert a tab into a notepad:

  data:text/html,

Copy and paste into your browser address bar. Just bookmark that and you have a notepad with content that you can italicize, embolden, print, export, etc. I'm sure someone here can tweak this code to be even more feature-rich yet still compact. Or check the comments from the original web page.

This snippet was shared a while ago on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5135194

A couple of the unicode characters on that page don't render in Firefox on Windows:

* the character after "Choose Day"

* the character before "About"

I know character isn't the right word for unicode. What is? Code point?

Is the data sync to any cloud services? Looks good by the way!
