Hello,
I felt the same way about other extensions and this is really light-weight and works well.
After using it for a bit I have 4 suggestions that shouldn't add bloat but remove some common points of friction:

  1. Persist notes for x days in local storage if the tab is accidentally closed or other extensions that hibernate inactive tabs (like Auto Tab Discard) trigger a reload of the page.

  2. A customizable way (with simple placeholder syntax) to optionally insert the video title as a markdown heading before the timestamped notes:
    ## %VIDEOTITLE% (%CHANNELNAME%)

  3. Customizable markdown list style (again with a simple placeholder syntax). That way the user can make use of the hanging list indentation for wrapping text or even nested (un)ordered lists:
    - [%TIMESTAMP%](%TIMESTAMPURL%) %NOTE%

  4. A customizable shortcut to copy all taken notes directly. For example alt+w would do the same as first having to locate the notes field with the cursor, click, ctrl+a, ctrl+c just bundled up for ease of use.
    Optionally, a setting to auto-copy notes upon closing the tab would be great.

It would be great to have a minimal preference page for those settings similar to how the extension Copy Selected Tabs to Clipboard.
Speaking of which, closing multiple tabs at once by shift-click selecting them first could be in conflict with the auto-copy feature. Unless maybe appending all notes to the clipboard is feasible. 🤔

What do you think?

Thanks for the great work!
