Show HN: I wrote this to make note taking on YouTube effective

I am trying it and looks fantastic.<p>But the UX needs improvement. I tested just the offline version using Firefox. This is what could be improved:<p>- When I reload the video, all my notes were lost. The notes should be persistent with autosave feature (web storage or indexed db).<p>- The youtube UI is already cluttered. Why bother to hide the editor buttons? The buttons should be always visible.<p>- The copy to clipboard doesn&#x27;t work for me (Firefox issue, maybe?).<p>- The Save button down&#x27;t give me any feedback. What it means? After I clicked it I realoaded the page, but just part of my notes was retrieved. Mostly was lost.<p>- What is summary write mode? I tried to write something, save, switch to note taking mode and returned to summary. Just a blank summary.<p>- The topic is about the full note, I presume. If yes, maybe it&#x27;s better to change the label to note title or description?<p>- When the user start taking notes, the video should stay paused until manual play (When text lost focus? shortcut? A second ENTER?). Enable autoplay inside options.<p>- Add a shortcut to allow the user start typing insted of clicking on the text editor.<p>And the hard features to implement:<p>- Allow to export notes into a file, with the images for printing.<p>- Allow to save the notes into a json, with images, to allow reloading offline notes.<p>Thanks for this amazing application.

Hey, interesting product and good work with the launch too. But I&#x27;m not able to register and getting &quot;SignIn Failed&quot;.<p>Also, you may also want to check <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lanes.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lanes.io&#x2F;</a> -- It gives similar capability.

I would love to receive some feedback on this if someone had some time. I completed MVP in a month, but polishing it took about 4 months( after hours and weekends). Still not finished though. I am planning to add more Note apps integrations as they open their APIs. Thank you.

A FYI: On Safari, the text renders on top of the images on the website. Layout issues.
