@getrickey @willissss @robingood Hi Robin - this video doesn't seem to show a specific issue (can only see a web-page with a bit of scrolling). Thanks

@getrickey @willissss @robingood Thanks Robin for taking the time to re-record that video, that is really useful. Unfortunately it relates to the issue I mentioned in point 1) above. It's an issue Google have introduced in their latest versions of Chrome which ironically conflicts with their own sign-in functionality. Agh.

@robingood We think we may have been able to get a fix in for this - could you try signing in at https://footnoteapp.com now? Thanks

Offers a much better way than the History of your browser to capture, organize, save and search through all of the info you navigate through daily. I need to test it further but it looks as a very interesting tool I'd probably adopt for keeping better track of what I have gone through and re-find more easily content that it is important to me. It has a few shortcomings in my tests: Even though I am logged into Google, I cannot login into the app and see my history I need to open a new browser or clear cache and cookies. When I click on "Mark Current Page" there's no visual indication of whether my command has been registered or not.

@robingood Hi Robin, thanks for the feedback. 1) The login issue is a bit of an intermittent bug. Does the solution you mention above work every time? 2) We don't currently support cross-sessions between web-app and extension with sign-in intentionally. This is because the extension essentially relies on always being logged in in order for it to be automatic. Of course accessing your own reading could be a lot more sensitive so signing out of that view independently we saw as preferable for our base case (though of course it could potentially be improved).

@rubengmurray Hi, 1) yes. The one that works all the time is opening a new incognito browser window. There it works always. 2) Not very clear at all. In plain words?

@robingood On 1). This is unfortunately an issue that needs to be fixed by Google themselves as we use their sign-in. It was introduced by them relatively recently in Chrome (https://github.com/google/google...). Using Safari or Firefox appears to have no issues. Unfortunately not a lot we can do about this in the short-term :( On 2). We weren't sure that maintaining sign-in between the website (viewing) and the extension (recording reads) was the best thing for users. Imagine that a user signed out of the website and didn't sign into it again for a week - the extension wouldn't have remembered any reads in the intervening period.
