User reviews

TabNotes is praised for its minimalist design, markdown support, and convenience of accessing notes on a new tab with features like dark mode and search. Users find it elegant and effective for daily note-taking and saving snippets. However, common issues include the inability to disable the default Ctrl+T shortcut to open the extension, the sidebar not remaining open persistently, and poor visibility of single line code color in dark mode. Overall, it is a well-received and useful productivity tool with some areas for improvement based on user feedback.

Minimalist and perfect for saving ideas and code snippets while browsing.
Supports useful features like search, download, dark mode, and markdown.
Convenient to access notes on a new tab, making note-taking seamless and efficient.
Simple, elegant, and beautiful design that fulfills its functionality well.

Cons

The Ctrl+T keyboard shortcut to open the extension cannot be disabled, causing conflicts for some users.
The sidebar or pane does not stay open and must be opened manually every time.
Single line code color in dark mode has low visibility and needs higher contrast or customizable colors.

This minimal notepad is perfect for saving ideas and code snippets as you surf the web. It has just enough features such as search, download, and dark mode. Plus, it supports markdown.
