Full summary

Take notes directly on YouTube.

While watching a YouTube video, you will see a new widget on the right side. Take notes or pin moments you want to view later.

Click on the timestamp of a pin or note to jump right back to the place in the video you took it at.

Tag your notes just by typing a hashtag (e.g. #design).

Go to app.getrocketnote.com (or click "view all") to view a dashboard for all the notes you've ever taken and sort/filter through them all.

Send us feedback directly in the widget by typing a note with the tag "#feedback" in it and clicking "Submit Feedback."

Highlight words on any YouTube video's page (comments, keywords, description, video name, etc.) and click the pin in the toolbar that pops up. This will save a note directly with your highlighted text.

Any and all feedback is welcome, and we will work our hardest to quickly improve Rocket Note for you. Thank you for using Rocket Note!

ForceCORS is a Google Chrome extension which allows you to selectively apply CORS Headers to any web server responses you choose. This is extremely helpful when developing a web application that makes Ajax/XHR requests.

The extension requires you to specify the domains that you wish to monitor and allows you to explicitly define the headers to be added. This is preferable to completely disabling XHR security in your browser, which is a big security hole.

Regarding Permissions In order to allow you to append headers to ANY arbitrary location, this extension requires access to intercept ANY web request. However, by default the extension does NOT monitor any web traffic. Only URLs you specifically whitelist will be read by the extension, and only headers that YOU specify will be appended.

Note: Headers added by this extension will not appear in the DevTools "Network" panel due to a known Chrome bug: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=258064
