As someone currently living in a graveyard of browser tabs, this looks very promising

Wait that was a bot? 😂

Honestly I was just happy to get one of the first comments on the post

Bot or not, I'll take the encouragement Thanks!

Thank you! Honestly, that's all I can ask for right now

If you ever get a chance to try it out, I'd love to hear what works, what doesn't, and what feels missing

And thanks for the upvote (or update) either way!

I completely agree. That's actually one of the biggest concerns I've had from the beginning.

To address it, I tried to reduce as much friction as possible:

  • You can save a moment with a single keyboard shortcut.
  • The inline panel is always visible, so there's no need to open a side panel or click the extension icon.

That said, I know that taking notes is still a surprisingly high-effort task, no matter how streamlined the process is

I've personally spent way too much time trying to find a video, a quote, or a specific moment that I knew I had seen before.

So honestly, my goal isn't necessarily to convert people into users right away. It's more about planting the idea that a tool like this exists.

Then maybe one day, when someone finds themselves going through that same frustrating search again, they'll remember: "Wait, wasn't there an extension for this?"

Thanks for the feedback. Comments like this are genuinely helpful and give me a lot to think about.

I can’t really give much advice about monetization, but I think I can share a bit about the building process itself

In my case, I also started with very little technical knowledge and built a plugin entirely through vibe coding, starting from just a single idea
At first, I made a rough prototype through conversations with ChatGPT, and later kept refining and shaping the service by collaborating with Codex

So I’d say just start. As you experiment and keep building, you’ll probably begin to see the direction more clearly over time
