> "I pay $1500+ for going to the toilet each month" It's a little less (I don't need that long), but most importantly, my boss is paying for most of that.
Don't shit where you eat? Instead, shit where you work? Makes sense ;)

Disabling cookies quite naturally disabled local storage as well, since localStorage can be used to identify and track a user as surely as a cookie can, at least if they have JavaScript enabled. I selectively enable cookies on websites that I wish to remember me as required. The vast majority of websites are perfectly capable of loading and operating without cookies / localStorage (though more recently a lot of them…
...how else the website that is start page is supposed to remember what you have set it up ? You sound like someone that rode on bald tires for a year, finally crashed into a wall, then started to sue manufacturer because "car didn't told me to change them"

#143not sure if I missed it but how do you get the animated background?
If you include a url to a gif in the background segment it will work: url( https://i.imgur.com/BkgF7ET.gif ) ^ Bit of a loud example that one I also recommend making all the tiles transparent when you have a nice background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2)

Thanks! Everything is saved in the extension's local storage. Nothing leaves the browser. You can export editor content from the settings (three dots in the bottom left corner). That creates a .md file with your notes that you can probably import to any editor.
Cool. Is there a way to reliably retrieve the path of the internal markdown file (I assume it is a markdown file within the extension as well) so that I can setup a cron job to export it or something? Also a firefox add-on would be cool as well.
There is a Firefox add-on, if you visit the site from Firefox, it should point you to the Mozilla Add-ons page [0].

That is an unreasonable comparison.
Man used site that uses persistence.
Man compares the thing is broken
How it is not unreasonable ?

#146I have been using https://tabliss.io/ for a while now. Yours seem cool, but I personally don't like too much information on my start page. Only reason I use tabliss is to see random Unsplash image on every new tab.

There's no internal markdown file. When you press the export button, it gets generated from the HTML content of the editor. The extension saves the state of the editor in browser's local storage. I don't think it's possible to access it outside of the extension itself. There is a Firefox add-on, if you visit the site from Firefox, it should point you to the Mozilla Add-ons page [0].

Also thank you for the link to the firefox add-on.
If you were so inclined, you could look into setting up some storage integrations with things like owncloud or dropbox. I believe they offer APIs that allow you to store files without having to write a server-side integration with them.

Seriously? I'd say from the domain alone it's clearly nothing to do with Google. (I mean, not to my mother, but here.) Clicking through it looks nothing like a Google page or logo etc. - and I don't even use them (except YouTube and rather de-Googled Android) so I'm not that familiar.
Other than the logo you could absolutely be fooled into thinking that homepage is an official Google property, especially if you're a non-technical user.
So their normal domain doesn't have anything to do with Google, and they're not trying to fool anyone.

I mean it redirects to https://igtab.com So their normal domain doesn't have anything to do with Google, and they're not trying to fool anyone.
