Love how zero-friction this is, no login to start scribbling was the first thing that sold me. One thing I'd kill for though: a way to save annotated pages to a private folder or export them as PDFs, since right now everything basically lives inside my browser tabs and gets lost when I clear sessions.
@baran583733 PDF export is doable fully client-side so it fits the no-account approach, it's on my list.
In the meantime you can already export a page as an annotated screenshot.
Besides, everything is stored in your browser, if you reload the page, you’ll find everything you’ve done.
Have been waiting for a no-account tool like this, the sticky notes on top of articles feel really natural. One thing that would make it stickier for me is letting highlights sync across devices through a small anonymous token or backup file, so I can pick up where I left off without giving up the no-signup approach.
@emiraw0l Thanks, glad the sticky notes feel natural, that took a few iterations.
You are right, I'm trying to come up with a solution for that
This is exactly what I needed for marking up articles before sharing them with my team. The sticky notes and arrows layer cleanly without messing up the page layout, and having no account requirement makes it painless to grab and use.
@birolt5jw Glad you like it!
Still working on it to make it easier to use and more intuitive
The sticky notes actually stay anchored when you scroll, which is way more useful than I expected. Saved me a bunch of time comparing pricing pages this morning.
@ece103092 Glad the extension was helpful to you
Love how lightweight this feels, no signup friction is honestly the best part. One thing though, it would be pretty useful if highlights synced across devices somehow, like maybe through a simple browser sign in option so I can grab notes from my laptop when I'm researching on my phone.
@defneakkuzey I’m currently working on synchronisation across devices system. I’m not quite sure how it would work on a small screen though.
The no-account-required approach is genuinely thoughtful—most annotation tools make you jump through signup hoops before you can highlight a single word. Love that the sticky notes and arrows layer cleanly on top of the source page without breaking the layout.
@kemalergdeydc3 That was one of the things that annoyed me most about other annotation tools.
Thanks for your comment.
