@arnaudrinquin @laure_albouy 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!
@calyhre @arnaudrinquin @laure_albouy 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! :) 👇
@calyhre @arnaudrinquin @askjibran 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!
@calyhre @arnaudrinquin @laure_albouy Been enjoying it. But wish that you could sync the new tab across devices (and that the Trello embed didn't have so much empty space around it).
Any way to make this a Safari extension? I'd use this in a heartbeat, but I switched to Safari recently.
@rhlsthrm Apple recent announcement to support WebExtensions specs will make it possible in the future
I loved Papier by @lucchaissac and the Muxu.Muxu team. Thank you @christophepas @calyhre and the Slite team for this alternative 👌 I love the clean UI, and as a Slite user, this product is one step forward more focus at work.
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 @sneddymobbin! 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!
@christophepas 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?
@sneddymobbin fully focused on teams and businesses indeed, teams from 2 to 1000 people work on Slite everyday!
That's an awesome idea! Anything that removes barriers and friction from taking notes is a plus in my book.
@labudis thanks Tadas! That's indeed the goal of this extension :) Btw I'm making great usage of Prodsight so far ;)
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!
@alexhbass winning your "New Tab" is an achievement as I guess you've been trying thousands of things :D
@brieuc1 haha you got it!
I have been using it a couple days now and it's surprisingly convenient.
I have tried so many new tab pages for "productivity". Panda for staying up to date on news, Toby/Workona for more of a suggestion of bookmarks and such. But there's really something to having a sales call roll in or have a quick thought and writing down some notes immediately "Ctrl + T". The speed at which it loads is a big win.
Quite frankly it's the first time I have tried a new tab page in 1.5 years as I have been using Workona since. They allow for other keyboard shortcuts when using their extension though so I don't feel as if I need their new tab page to be productive with it. I'm happy with the mixture.
Already enabled it for my team as well (moving them from the Workona new tab page) and they too are fans - not an easy feat 🙌
this is essentially how I use workflowy. I need to have a "work log" by my side to quickly jot down ideas, tasks, notes, etc.
I got turned off by having to make a whole Slite account, Slite page, AND Slite team/channel for me to save documents.
Thought it was a quick way to take distraction-free notes, which it still kinda is, but I will end up in a distracted mode when I want the notes again.
Don't think I'll use this over Google Docs, unfortuantely.
thanks for your feedback @martinsanton. Once you've created your Slite account you can organize all your notes and also get an access to them on mobile but it's true it's a different usage :)
Great idea.. for those that already has a new tab extension they use (cough.. producthunt..) is a toolbar version possible?
@mikaelvinding The active tab extension should be the last one you activate. Draft is available via it's own icon from the toolbar too, so you could de-active the current tab extension you like, install Draft, re-activate the previous one and voilà!
It would be really cool if there was some sort of integration with a notion page. They look very similar after all.
How obvious! I had given up other inferior alternatives to fill the need, so thank you. Very clean and so practical! Kudos to the team!
Extraordinarily elegant for makers like me! You all could add a sentence saying "Want to make note-taking even faster, change the extension's shortcut. Just press ⌘D for instant jotting capabilities." After doing this, I feel like my note-jotting capability is about to be unimaginable!
This is amazing~ I've literally been typing notes in the address bar for years.
@bansal_io aside from UI, looks like Slite lets you create a team and share your notes with them and has Slack & Trello + other integrations. Haven't played around with Tabnotes in-depth though.
This kid had done this long back with very similar work - markdown new tab. If its me, I would give me some credit. https://chrome.google.com/websto...
Since working remotely, I have been using a much older laptop. Chrome is no longer being updated for OS X 10.9, any issues with this? I don't know if this old thing can take an operating system update :')
@marta_atencia if that what you’re asking this extension should probably work with older chrome extension!

@caleblenoir We are working on it ;) And on the next Safari also, as they will officially support WebExtensions.
