Hi everyone 👋 A few months back during a team retreat, Lead Engineer & built a Chrome extension that turns new tabs into a beautiful editor. When we returned from Lisbon, roadmap and product priorities took over and we never got around to officially releasing it.  Since then, a few of us have been using it every day for our quick notes and ideas. Last week, we decided it was about time everyone got to enjoy it too. So, we're very excited to introduce Draft, our Chrome extension. Next time you need to capture thoughts or to-dos, just pop open a new tab—no need to be a Slite user. When you're done, you can share them with your team by saving them your Slite workspace.

I'm so happy it's finally out! 🥳 I've been using it constantly while working on it as a pet-project for over a year now. It usually contains my todo list for the day, plus some random thoughts, reminders, and other drafts. Let me know if you have suggestions or comments, I'd love to know how you are using it!
Great product Slite team!
thanks for this extension, it's an even faster way to capture my thoughts!
Hey, I think it's a great extension! There was one thing I liked less so though. To save a draft I need a Slite account. Which I think is understandable (it's you main product). In any case, I made a short breakdown of walking through your product. Check it out if you're curious about a user test! :) 👇

wow thanks for this breakdown! super useful :) just in case it wasn't clear: your draft is auto-saved even if you close your tab!
This is my latest secret productivity hack. Thanks a lot guys for pushing this live. Using it to remind me of my daily todos while browsing or to take quick last minute notes during calls. Super handy!

thank you for being one of our very first users 💜
Finally someone decided to make such thing! Thank you guys so much!
Maker
glad you like it! :)
That's an awesome idea! Anything that removes barriers and friction from taking notes is a plus in my book.
thanks Tadas! That's indeed the goal of this extension :) Btw I'm making great usage of Prodsight so far ;)
Clean and unintrusive
Love it!
I like this - so simple - thanks 🚀
This is really slick. But I use Notion for this sort of note taking. ?makers are you trying to target Notion users (people who have that tab open all the time) or encourage a different group of people to take notes? Because the functionality is almost the exact same. And for what it's worth, I wish every text editor ever used the "/" functionality.
Thanks for the question ! Slite is an alternative to Notion, so we won't integrate with it but tbh it doesn't matter, you can always use Draft, paste the content to Notion when needed & voilà! Of course at some point we hope you'll try Slite, you might be surprised ;) Cheers!
Yes I realized as I went to your site that I may have said a bad word by mentioning Notion. Seems like you are focusing on the business customer, not personal. Is this correct?
fully focused on teams and businesses indeed, teams from 2 to 1000 people work on Slite everyday!
Clean & Powerful > kudos to the team 👌
Great job! I remember using an extension that offered the same thing :)
Probably Papier? , our editor lead, was already behind this one 😅 Draft will benefit from our constant work on Slite's editor though!
Yes it was ! I thought it was useful. I've never tried slite, I'll try it sometime. Could the notes be synchronized with an external service? For example I open a new tab, write a note and it's directly synchronized in a trello table
