I built something related called https://sidenote.me to take notes on YouTube videos, so I understand what you're trying to solve. Congrats on your launch, your interface looks very sleek!

My feedback about the product itself is that it's trying to do too much too soon. For example, the set interval slider, and all features in the "Pro Toolbar": are they really useful and necessary to your users? To me it seems they're not, and add confusion.

So the question you should ask yourself is: what is the one thing you want to solve for your users, and then make the interface do only this one thing and do it well. Only once you grow a user base you should add new features.

Best of luck with your project!

Thanks for the feedback! I get what you're saying. What is the 1 or 2 features that you think are the most valuable?
