I love the new design (interface, new options to save material from the Internet and social media). The only inconvenience that I find (at least it happens to me) is that I can't access the collections that I had created months ago using my University Microsoft educational account (with the previous versions of the extension I never had that problem). I hope they can correct it very soon. Greetings from Argentina!

Never had a problem in the transition, and was pleasantly surprised with the new ability to edit and save in the sidebar! I miss having my new tabs open with Wakelet, but love the new extension's features. Great job ... as always!

I have used Wakelet for at least 3 years and love the ability to curate so many different types of files/links and to organize them in collections. During all this time, I have used the Wakelet extension to simplify the process. However, a couple months ago, I began getting this message: The webpage at chrome-search://local-ntp/local-ntp.html might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. By process of elimination, I discovered that disabling the Wakelet extension solved the problem. Because I miss the extension's capability, I just uninstalled and re-installed it in hopes the problem had been fixed. Nope, I still get the same error message if the Wakelet extension is enabled. Please fix! Another suggestion - I have created groups of resources within some collections. Would it be possible to let us add directly to the sub-group? Now, the resource goes into the overall collection and I have to go back in to edit and put it in exactly the right spot.
