Express.js ছোট এবং সরল অ্যাপ্লিকেশন ডেভেলপমেন্টের জন্য আদর্শ, কারণ এটি লাইটওয়েট এবং সহজ। অন্যদিকে, NestJS বড়, স্কেলেবল, এবং স্ট্রাকচার্ড এন্টারপ্রাইজ লেভেলের অ্যাপ্লিকেশন তৈরির জন্য ভালো, কারণ এটি মডুলার, টাইপস্ক্রিপ্ট-ভিত্তিক, এবং মেইনটেনেবল।

Muito prático e útil para destacar vários trechos de texto.

Begrudgingly I will give this app a 4-star review. It's irritating that you have to pay to test important features, the free features don't even allow tagging or folders, so basically just highlighting with no organisation. But the premium app is actually very good, much more complete (and pretty!) than the many other highlighting apps I tried. It has both a folder system and tags, I can filter by more than one tag/folder/colour/other search options at the same time, I can select various highlights and bulk move them to a folder or bulk tag them, among other actions. And it looks just like Google Keep, which I personally find really pretty and very clean, and I can see my notes (highlights) in a grid, list, or list grouped by website. A life saver for doing market research and organising information from hundreds of websites. The only downsides I found so far: 1. I can't directly highlight PDFs stored in my Google Drive, I need to upload them to the app, and 2. when you try to delete a note/highlight or a tag, it all goes a bit wonky (it doesn't delete, you refresh the page, try again, rinse and repeat a few times, and then suddenly it does delete, but the author of that snippet's source (web page) remains in there, and no way to delete it). I haven't tested the Kindle feature.
