Is there any plan for syncing between computers? Anyway, do you have any plan for user to shift one computer to another?

@jinseong_hwang Heyo, syncing is not on the roadmap. While I don't have any feature in the roadmap to facilitate shifting users from one computer to other, I have other features like export/import on the roadmap to make this possible. Quick question - do you think there's a urgent need for moving notes from one computer to another?

@shash122tfu Not right now. However, I usually switch between my Desktop and laptop.. So, It makes me hesitate to purchase :( I want to suggest you additional feature. If you can provide syncing across dropbox, It will be awesome product than other highlighting apps. Please look through it.

Update alert - UnderlineMe has been updated to v1.5.1 - Added Always-on mode. Extension doesn't need to be explicitely on to show your annotations. - Added reading view and grid view options to the dashboard. Also overhauled colors, sizing and typography to make it more sharp and appealing. - Finally added trial mode. Feel free to signup for a unlimited time trial at app.underlineme.com --- At this stage, UnderlineMe is mostly at feature parity with other highlighter tools.

Hi Producthunt! 🎉 I'm launching a tool for saving text snippets off any webpage and saving it locally in your browser. Commonly called a highlighter tool. It is used for organizing research. Great for Bloggers, Newsletter Authors, Content Curators, etc. Here's the story behind it: I was looking around for a simple extension to save text highlights. Unfortunately most of them: ⚠️ Ask for unnecessarily extensive permissions when installed. ⚠️ Many require a account before they can be used. ⚠️ A few extensions pester you to upsell regularly. ⚠️ All of them have a extremely clunky UI. ⚠️ And almost all of them are dead. After going through many highligher tools, I decided to make my own. UnderlineMe ✅Doesn't beg you to signup for an account ✅Doesn't upsell you nor show you ads ✅Has a functional User Interface for browsing your notes ✅Comes with built-in full text search This is just the first version. New features are cooking behind the scenes: 🤯Organize notes by tags. 🤯Note types(normal text, heading, code, quotes, etc). Also detect note type from selection. Useful for saving code snippets. 🤯Export collection of notes by markdown, html or plain text. I'm launching with a discounted price launch price. You only need to pay once and get access to the tool forever! 👉🏻 https://underlineme.com

Loving this - Honestly, I feel your pain: The existing note-taking extensions on Chrome suck. The UX on this one is superb. Congrats on the launch!

@fernikolic1 Exactly. I though hmm what can I do to make these extensions suck less.
