Make a note in TheBrain about something on the web
What is BrainBox?
BrainBox is a Chrome extension that enhances note-taking for users of TheBrain, a powerful mind-mapping and knowledge management tool. With BrainBox, users can easily capture web pages and save them into TheBrain for future reference. This extension allows you to not only bookmark URLs and titles but also to clip and store the actual content from the pages you visit. You can choose to send this information directly to a specific thought, create a new thought on-the-fly, or append it to an existing thought's note. By simplifying the process of collecting web-based information, BrainBox streamlines the workflow for research, learning, and staying organized.

Recent reviews
I like the improvements where I can re-name my emails before saving into BrainBox online. However, I'm unable to sync the online version of BrainBox with the BrainBox folder (just noticed this today).
Recent update resolved all the log out/in issues. And now I can send web content directly to a specific thought in any Brain. This is an amazing tool for fast web capture and organization.
