I am trying it and looks fantastic.

But the UX needs improvement. I tested just the offline version using Firefox. This is what could be improved:

- When I reload the video, all my notes were lost. The notes should be persistent with autosave feature (web storage or indexed db).

- The youtube UI is already cluttered. Why bother to hide the editor buttons? The buttons should be always visible.

- The copy to clipboard doesn't work for me (Firefox issue, maybe?).

- The Save button down't give me any feedback. What it means? After I clicked it I realoaded the page, but just part of my notes was retrieved. Mostly was lost.

- What is summary write mode? I tried to write something, save, switch to note taking mode and returned to summary. Just a blank summary.

- The topic is about the full note, I presume. If yes, maybe it's better to change the label to note title or description?

- When the user start taking notes, the video should stay paused until manual play (When text lost focus? shortcut? A second ENTER?). Enable autoplay inside options.

- Add a shortcut to allow the user start typing insted of clicking on the text editor.

And the hard features to implement:

- Allow to export notes into a file, with the images for printing.

- Allow to save the notes into a json, with images, to allow reloading offline notes.

Thanks for this amazing application.
