## Review summary

Reviews are mixed. Some users find the extension usable or exactly what they needed, but several point to abandonment by the developer and reliability issues. The top concerns are data persistence (notes disappearing or being wiped, no automatic backups), broken note deletion, UI/UX problems (sidebar behavior and layout), and readability problems due to low-contrast color presets. Overall, stability and maintenance appear as major barriers to long-term usefulness.

### Pros

- Some users report it works fine and is just what they needed.
- Provides a basic sticky notes feature for annotating web pages.
- For a subset of users, it remains usable despite other issues.

### Cons

- Developer appears abandoned or unresponsive.
- Notes can disappear or be wiped with no reliable backup.
- Deleting notes often fails (e.g., 'delete all' does nothing).
- UI/UX issues with the left sidebar (notes jumping, space consumption).
- Color presets have poor readability due to low contrast.
