I've been using Papercuts for a while and I'd like to report some issues. 1. One day I deleted all the entries in a tab and opened the extension window again, it froze and failed to pop up. The extension setting page also kept loading when I tried to access it from icon. When it finally finished loading after 1~2 minutes, in addition to the empty tab that I had deleted all the entries, another (or even more?) tab next to it that had entries in it also disappeared; some entries appeared in wrong tabs where they shouldn't be. 2. I tried to recover the vanished tab by restoring the bookmark files, and got bookmarks.bak from AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default folder and put it into another test Chrome browser, but the content it recovered was incomplete and there were many empty entries under each tab. The vanished tab came back but the entries were empty and there were other tabs missing. Later I found that the data Papercuts saved in bookmarks itself is incomplete. Even though the contents were displaying in the extension window, most of them were not saved in the bookmarks. Most of bookmark URLs were the default `javascript:void('<title></title><content></content><...` line with empty titles and content, which resulted in empty entries when restored. (I don't have other extensions that manages bookmarks.) My Chrome version when using Papercuts is 124~127. I like this extension's apperance and awesome functionalities and wanted to keep using it so I hope the issues can be addressed and improved. Also wish it could offer some other choices to backup and sync data such as Google Drive. Many thanks.

Great extension with exactly the features I was looking for. Took me so long to find this by chance! I'd suggest adding keywords like "note" "memo" in the extension title so ppl can find it more easily from searching. Just a minor nitpick, when the popup window is long and the scrollbar appears, expanding a collapsed note will cause a second scrollbar to appear, and it makes the window widen briefly and look a little glitch. Hope this can be optimized. Would be nice too if the scrollbar could change to a thinner one with custom css that matches the style, because this extension is pretty but Chrome's default scrollbar is ugly haha. Again thanks for this awsome extension!

Dude you have a great notetaking app, But NOW you only need to do this one thing to hit a homerun! Add "To-do" checklists feature. You already have stacking each notes, for example: Life- Gym - Clients - But now a "to-do" list competitor business is doing the same idea of yours but for tasks. He named it stacking tasks (Category of tasks for your tasks) - tasktxt dot com So I'm begging you add this checklist option, for example: Life 🔻 Make money ☑️ Invest ☑️ Save Gym🔻 Hit 5 am morning ☑️15 reps ☑️buy protein shaker Clients🔻 Build networks and join communities ☑️ Do 1 outreach daily ☑️ Join 1 group daily Bro this is the feature that's gonna put your product into virality. And could possibly destroy other businesses. Have no mercy. You got this.
