v1.1.0

[1.1.0] — 2026-08-01

Video Notes, Folders, and shortcut/settings improvements, delivered incrementally across nine PRs.

Added

• Video Notes — press Alt+V to leave a note at the current moment in a video (a dedicated
  shortcut, independent of Alt+H — see "Changed" below).
  • A small quick-note popup appears above the video: autofocus textarea, Enter saves,
    Shift+Enter for a newline, Escape cancels — never pauses or otherwise interrupts playback.
  • Saved notes show as small timeline markers. On YouTube, markers align to YouTube's own
    progress bar; on any other HTML5 <video>, Hamesh draws its own marker rail docked to the
    video (native <video controls> render in an internal browser UI Hamesh can't draw on).
  • Markers fade with the surrounding player controls and reappear on hover or while paused, and
    stay out of the way of the player's own hover/click handling.
  • Hovering a marker shows a quick preview (first line of the note + timestamp). Notes close
    together in time cluster into a single marker; clicking a cluster opens a small list to jump
    to any of them.
  • Clicking a marker jumps the video to that moment and opens the note for viewing, editing,
    deleting, or pinning — without affecting playback (a playing video keeps playing, a paused
    one stays paused, and it's never auto-played).
  • Video notes appear in the Notes Library exactly like page notes, with a timestamp badge.
    Opening one from the Library seeks to that moment and opens its viewer, same as clicking its
    on-page marker.
  • Currently supports YouTube (a first-class adapter reading its own timeline UI) and any other
    page with a plain HTML5 <video> element, via a generic adapter. Architecture supports adding
    more site-specific adapters later without touching storage or the rest of the UI.
• Folders — organize notes into user-defined, arbitrarily nested folders in the Notes Library,
  independent of the automatic by-website grouping. A "By site / By folder" switch at the top of
  the list toggles between the two views; search works in either.
  • Any note can be filed into exactly one folder, regardless of which site it came from.
  • File a note into a folder from a "⋮ Move to…" menu on its row, or by dragging it directly
    onto a folder.
  • Create nested sub-folders, rename, and delete a folder — deleting one unfiles its notes (and
    its sub-folders' notes) rather than deleting them.
  • Each note shows a small favicon in folder view, since a folder can mix notes from different
    sites (unlike a website group, which by definition can't).
• Settings moved out of the popup's slide-in pane into a permanent page in the Notes Library
  (Sidebar → Settings), alongside the existing Language/Appearance controls. A new Shortcuts
  section shows the current Alt+H/Alt+V bindings and links to Chrome's own
  chrome://extensions/shortcuts page to change them — the only place Chrome allows a shortcut to
  be rebound. The popup's own Settings pane keeps Language/Appearance for quick access, plus a new
  "Open full settings" link to the rest.

Changed

• Alt+H now always opens element selection; it no longer tries to detect whether you're
  hovering a video first. That earlier "one shortcut, context-aware" heuristic was unreliable on
  real sites — overlay UI on custom video players (play buttons, ad chrome, custom controls)
  defeated the hover detection often enough to cause real confusion between an element note and a
  video note — so video notes now use their own dedicated shortcut, Alt+V, instead.
