tl;dr - I built a fast and low-frills notepad which helps me keep a flow state.<p>I spend a lot of time in the browser: in calls, managing stuff between SaaS apps, or consolidating info from multiple tabs. Usually, I'd bring up an editor and side-by-side it, or switch between my current tab and a notion tab. This extension lets you hit a hotkey and bring up a notepad in-place. It's a scratchpad for thinking in the moment - key points and questions as I'm working. If I want to hold on to the memory, I can export it to another app - if not, I'll just delete the note. It's kind of like the RAM to Notion's hard drive.<p>A couple more details:
- It works in videos, pdfs, and most sites. Startup friends use it reviewing their Figmas. Investor friends have been using it on Docsends. I use it to pull important parts from documentation, and writing call notes.
- A note can be used across tabs (e.g. I've used it to cross-reference product reviews)
- It keeps a bibliography for each note.
- It can stash its notes if you want to keep things in-house. If not, you can export to Google Docs and Notion
- If you connect your Google Drive, you can search your drive. It's faster than the web interface.<p>Anyway, the point is to be a really fast way to manage your current thoughts. I feel like memory decays rapidly, and the faster I can record things, the lower my mental burden.<p>I've got a video showing some of this at <a href="https://getjotter.com/" rel="nofollow">https://getjotter.com/</a>. There's no signup needed to try it, and I'm happy to take feedback and suggestions!
Very nice!<p>Right now I use <a href="https://simplenote.com/" rel="nofollow">https://simplenote.com/</a> for a similar purpose, so export to SimpleNote would be nice (with search).
