Hello, developer here.

Quick tech rundown:

This is implemented as a Google Chrome extension, i.e. it's implemented using web frontend tech, using a custom injected agent program injected into note-possible websites (= every URL that's not a browser-internal "page"). The UI is implemented in a React.js + Redux combination. It's authenticated by the slimmest possible Python + Flask web backend using OAuth2 via Google I felt I could get away with.

Post tech questions here if you're curious and I'll try to answer them or tweet at me (I'm https://twitter.com/jacob414).
