Extension summary

This extension was written due to lack of a bookmarking system on YouTube and inspired by Pluralsight. I love the ability of Pluralsight to add to any place on a video my own thoughts, ideas and notes that have to be reviewed later or even exported and reviewed later on any other device in Evernote. So I've made something similar in a "Chrome Extension" form-factor!

You can add multi-line comments to any place on a video and they will be visible only to you (until you want to share them!). The focus of this extension is shifted towards usability. Hotkeys are supported — they work inside the pop-up window and directly on YouTube's page.

Depending on the interest in the extension a lot of features may be added later. Also, feedback is highly appreciated. So don't hesitate and support development!

You will be able to:

  1. Add a bookmark to any video.
  2. Control any video with hotkeys (play\pause\rewind).
  3. Quickly navigate to any bookmark without reloading a video.
  4. Manage any previously added bookmarks (edit/delete).
  5. See a list of all videos with bookmarks (and manage it).
  6. Export bookmarks to a clipboard (for sharing with others).
  7. Import bookmarks from a clipboard (from a friend or just from 'backup').
