Congratulations on building and launching SideNote. You should also checkout https://www.tuberslab.com/ which is a browser extension that does exactly what SideNote do.

The added benefit of using TubersLab is I don't have to take the YouTube video to new web app, I just get the ability right there.

Thanks for taking the time to look at it. Very cool link you shared, I didn't know about it. I also pondered if I should create this app as a browser extension of a standalone website.

I decided to go with a website, because it's easier for non-users to discover content: having to install a plugin or app on one's phone is one order of magnitude more effortful, and search engines can crawl this content but not what's trapped inside an extension or phone app.

Also, if I see more people using it, I'd like to extend to Spotify (as they expand into the realm of podcasts), and possibly audio-only with Libsyn and such.
