Impressively fast! I love the bonsai. Way too much distractions for me though. Shameless plug: I made a new tab page that's just markdown notes and bookmarks - https://nutab.co

I love this. This is exactly what I was looking for.

But please, make it open source or announce your monetization plans. Freeware extensions tend to be acquired by the worst companies or bundle malware eventually. If you say you have no plans and intend to keep your word, I shall make an open-source version myself.

But don't let this rant detract from the main point: I love this a lot. If it were somehow synced with Firefox sync, I'd gladly throw even more money (donation, one time purchase) your way.

Thank you! First and foremost, I made nuTab for myself. I wanted a minimal, private notepad as my new tab page. I really don't want to sell it or make it invasive in any way.

Also, no monetization plans yet, but if they come, I'll make sure they're not breaking the original promise of privacy and simplicity.

Firefox sync would be nice, although I would make it optional.

That looks very nice! How is the data saved?

Could I set something up where I can edit it both in the browser and my editor or something?

[tmvst]

Thanks! Everything is saved in the extension's local storage. Nothing leaves the browser. You can export editor content from the settings (three dots in the bottom left corner). That creates a .md file with your notes that you can probably import to any editor.

same on distractions. if I have good intentions opening a new tab (e.g. I'm going to open GCP logging to debug something), I don't want a random story from HN pulling me in.
