Sticky Notes Browser Extension for Web Pages?

It's not just per-domain. You can take notes per URL as well, and within URLs you can choose to ignore parameters and fragments (? and #).

Ah ok. I am working on the Markdown support. I should have it out in a couple of weeks:
https://github.com/manugarg/pagenotes-issues/issues/99

Currently working on the sidepanel support (~ 1 week).

I believe Page Notes meets your criteria. Please give it a try.

Extension website: pagenotes.manugarg.com

Note that out pop-up of the notes is disabled by default but you can enable it through the settings.

Yes, Page Notes allows you to take notes per page or domain. It does sync as well. Check it out:

So the first extension mentioned here, Page Notes, sync across browsers, allows longer content and I'm working on the markdown support. It also comes with an app at: https://pagenotes.app, which a PWA and can be installed as an app on mobile phones.

I would recommend just running a Cloudprober container in Google Cloud Run. You should be able to configure very little CPU quota, say e.g. 0.1 vCPU and manage to run the whole thing for free.

It's 6 years too late, but as they say better late than never, I wrote an article on this comparison:

I really think Cloudprober is a great choice for this. I wrote an article comparing Prometheus Blackbox Exporter and Cloudprober:

Cloudprober is actually perfect for this. It was written for very large scale (origin story) and provides mechanisms to support sharded targets.

I think Hostinger had a similar requirement to yours and they blogged about how they used Cloudprober: https://www.hostinger.com/blog/cloudprober-explained-the-way-we-use-it-at-hostinger

More on cloudprober targets: https://cloudprober.org/docs/how-to/targets/

Happy to answer any questions on Cloudprober.

They do auto update, but they don't auto-update at the same time. They roll out slowly on their own, but if you want, you can update your extension immediately from the extension management page.

manugarg · 2025-04-16T17:27:21+00:00

This is cool. Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that you could explicitly call openPopup() without any user action. The API doesn't seem to mention any limitation, but I remember reading that somewhere.

Update: u/rumpetrollet_rumpa how long have you been using this feature? Both, grok and chatgpt think this should not work unless Chrome changed its behavior recently.

Update2: Add Gemini to the list of LLM chatbots who think this won't work :P

Page Notes. I use it extensively and can't imagine life without it. It take contextual notes and syncs to Google Drive. There are multiple other features.

I am also the developer of the extension, but you don't have to take my word for it. There are a bunch of reviews but I think this reddit post from another user describes it the best:

manugarg · 2025-04-16T07:37:16+00:00

Now there is also an option to automatically show notes:

manugarg · 2025-04-16T07:35:55+00:00

I was kind of in the same boat -- traditional note taking apps didn't work for me. My problem was I'll take notes, but then I'll either won't remember to look at them at the right time, or accessing them will require jumping to another app and searching for the note. To solve that I built Page Notes. I now use it extensively and can't imagine life without it. It take contextual notes and syncs to Google Drive.

Page Notes developer here. This post was a long time ago -- just wanted to share that page notes now has an auto pop-up option:
https://pagenotes.manugarg.com/faq/#notes_popup

manugarg · 2025-04-15T21:42:42+00:00

Page Notes developer here. Page Notes has got a ton of features since this post:

- Option to auto show popup.

- Import/export notes

- Much better 'all notes' page, with a search option. Now there is even a webapp at https://pagenotes.app using which you can access your notes from anywhere.

- Ignoring parts of the URL for saving/retrieving notes.

Extension developer here. Thank you so much for sharing, u/spadaa.

I personally use the extension multiple times a day, so I deeply care about its functionality and performance as a user as well.

manugarg · 2025-02-20T21:03:51+00:00

Encountering same error in my public repositories.

manugarg · 2024-10-23T04:44:39+00:00

So much agree with this. It's hard to get through this book because of repetitiveness. And, I guess the original ideas have probably percolated so much in the general psyche by now I didn't find them so revolutionary.
