| I am trying it and looks fantastic. But the UX needs improvement. I tested just the offline version using Firefox. This is what could be improved: - When I reload the video, all my notes were lost. The notes should be persistent with autosave feature (web storage or indexed db). - The youtube UI is already cluttered. Why bother to hide the editor buttons? The buttons should be always visible. - The copy to clipboard doesn't work for me (Firefox issue, maybe?). - The Save button down't give me any feedback. What it means? After I clicked it I realoaded the page, but just part of my notes was retrieved. Mostly was lost. - What is summary write mode? I tried to write something, save, switch to note taking mode and returned to summary. Just a blank summary. - The topic is about the full note, I presume. If yes, maybe it's better to change the label to note title or description? - When the user start taking notes, the video should stay paused until manual play (When text lost focus? shortcut? A second ENTER?). Enable autoplay inside options. - Add a shortcut to allow the user start typing insted of clicking on the text editor. And the hard features to implement: - Allow to export notes into a file, with the images for printing. - Allow to save the notes into a json, with images, to allow reloading offline notes. Thanks for this amazing application. |
1) Yes I don’t save the notes locally. Never thought of this offline scenario. Will implement soon.
2) That makes sense. I thought hiding the buttons could reduce the distraction while watching videos. But, as you mentioned, youtube ui is already a busy place. no point. Will do.
3) I’ll test and fix it tomorrow if it is replicable.
4) Partly retrieved? Thats worrying. May be there could be a bug with refreshing. I’ll test it. I’ll add a feedback on save button as well.
5) Summary pad is something I use to compose a complete picture of the video from notes taken. Summary going away is worrying, I’ll double check.
6) Topic is like a folder. I normally watch multiple videos on a topic. So, I tag them with same topic and then I can filter them by topic on my phone.
7) Ok. I’ll introduce enable/disable autoplay option in settings.
8) Short cut to focus is a fantastic idea.
9) That would be fantastic. I’ll see how I can do it.
10) I am not sure If I can get that much space from extensions. Offline support is going to be tough. But will try.
I can’t thank you enough for the feedback and encouraging words. I’ll update once everything is fixed. Have a fantastic day.
