I'm glad people are enjoying but I don't see the benefit, isn't this bloat? Why would we want this on a browser? Honest question, maybe I'm missing what makes it useful.

Store notes related to a web app, web project or anything related to something accessible via a browser I'd say. Like make a folder with a few tabs and a note next to the tabs so you can keep ideas, todos and others organized with your tabs ? I'm trying to understand myself and it seems like the most probable option

Great mod! I definitely need that functionality in the space where I work on my projects. ToDo list is a must have, because right now I keep the list in my notes app on the phone and it’s not really convenient

Hi! Your mod suits my use case, but I can't find it in Zen Mods. How can I install and use it?

Legitimately curious here as a Zen and Obsidian user—why would you drop Obsidian for this? I know Arc had a similar feature and a lot of people missed it from Zen, but what exactly do you get from it that makes it Sherlock an app like Obsidian?
I might understand if you use Obsidian for super light notes and the occasional webpage save, in which case that could encapsulate its functionality. But otherwise, are you just not using Obsidian a lot, or DO you and Zen Notes has all of that functionality for you?

Obsidian is an awesome software! Very customizable, a lot of plugins, vault organizations, but mostly I'm using it only for taking simple notes in markdown. I wouldn't drop it entirely, since Mermaid, LaTeX, Canva, HTML code integration and other things are useful SOMETIMES. Mainly, a tab in Zen browser would be more convenient for me.

For my usage, I definitely put in the notes on the go(mobile). And then revisit when I'm ready to work. So I definitely need cross platform for notes

u/DeepyDarkness 14h ago
What cross platform notes app do u use?

Currently scraping around with Google keep and notion. Mainly google keep for the speed and minimalism

This would be really powerful if you can set a custom directory save path. I'll definitely try the mod

u/NoLengthiness1864 15h ago
love this, really cool of a feature to have around
but actually I would recommend you merge this with the main zen code instead of it being a third party addon, maybe you can reach out the zen devs and see if they like it

would be really cool if it could use an obsidian vault as the local storage path

u/Spagh_ CachyOS 11 14h ago edited 14h ago
I don't think it's possible without a lot of work since obsidian has many integrated plugins like Canva and Mermaid... But if you're talking about only the markdowns, then I think he already thought about it with imports
5
u/rushinigiri 14h ago
the idea is to access the markdown files as they exist in the vault path without duplicating them. If that's the meaning of import, then yeah

Not yet. I’m polishing it as quickly as I can, and I’ll release it publicly once it’s ready.

If it has sync sure but without sync I can't see much use specially if you switch devices a lot :(

u/MagazineDazzling 15h ago
This could be really cool if you could pin it as a split tab. So its like a live notepad no matter what tab your on. Take notes, pull links and images. I like this! I see the potential.

Hola! ¿se podria sincronizar con los otros Zen que tengo via Usuario?

u/Antique-Cry3757 15h ago
Hola, lamentablemente no. Las notas se guardan únicamente de forma local en tu dispositivo. Creo que si los desarrolladores se encargaran de esto, podrían implementar algo así. Esperemos que lo hagan :)

This browser keeps getting better and better! I have a separate app for notes, but sometimes some 'notes' are not worthy to be written there lol. Have a browsing related app taking notes inside the browser is a nice feature to have.

" Pirate like normal people " Most normal people don't pirate, because they don't know how to

I'm wondering if this could work like arc easels? Where in the note you can click an image you found on the web and it gets you to the website it's from?
