UPDATE · v1.3.0 Just keep jotting — it tidies itself up Simple Side Note — the lightweight notepad that lives in your browser sidebar — is out in 1.3.0 . In one line: "Less cleanup by hand, and every delete is undoable." 📝 At a glance 🧹 Auto-clean old memos — unpinned memos clear themselves after a chosen age (7 / 30 / 90 days) 🗑️ Trash — deleted memos are kept for 30 days and can be restored anytime 📌 Pin = "keep this" — pinned memos are never auto-cleaned 🛡️ Off by default — nothing is removed until you opt in 🧹 Auto-clean old memos — the headline feature Every lightweight notepad has the same dilemma. It's great for jotting things down the moment they pop up , but over time most of those turn into throwaway notes you no longer need — and deleting them one by one is quietly annoying . So 1.3.0 adds ⚙️ Settings → Saved...

Update summary: Phrase Hero 1.1.0 adds a focused review round for incorrect and skipped questions, while keeping review separate from scores and unlock progress. The problem with replaying an entire quiz The first version of Phrase Hero made short phrasal-verb practice easy, but it treated every question equally after a round ended. If you missed only three expressions, the only option was to replay questions you already knew as well. Version 1.1.0 adds a smaller loop: finish a round, identify the weak expressions, and practise only those items again. How missed-answer review works During a normal round, Phrase Hero records questions that were answered incorrectly or skipped. The completion screen then displays a Review mistakes (N) action when there is something to revisit. Selecting it starts a new round containing only those questions. This makes the next action obvious and removes repeated questions that do not need immediate attention. The review round deliberately d...

Update summary: Simple Side Note 1.0.2 increases the default text size, replaces a crowded formatting toolbar with direct controls, and saves the current note before creating another one. A side panel has different readability needs Simple Side Note started as a personal tool for keeping notes beside articles, documentation, videos, and AI-assisted research. The first editor used 14 px text, which looked acceptable in isolation but felt too small during a long reading session. Version 1.0.2 raises the default editor size to 18 px. The change reduces the amount of text visible at once, but that is a reasonable trade-off in a narrow panel where readability matters more than page density. The larger default is particularly useful beside: technical documentation; video transcripts; language-learning material; long search or research results; code review notes. Direct font-size controls Instead of hiding common actions in a general formatting menu, the editor provides dir...

Update summary: Version 1.0.1 improves the first editing workflow with useful text formatting, more dependable saving, and a clearer side-panel experience. Why formatting belongs in a small notepad The first Simple Side Note release focused on capturing text without leaving the browser. Real use quickly showed that plain text was not always enough. A long note needed a few lightweight visual signals: a heading, an emphasized warning, or a list of actions. Version 1.0.1 adds rich-text controls while keeping the editor intentionally smaller than a document application. The goal is to make a captured note scannable, not to reproduce every word-processing feature inside a narrow panel. Useful formatting includes: bold and italic emphasis; simple lists; text sizing for visual hierarchy; colour for a small number of meaningful highlights. Saving must feel uneventful A note-taking tool loses trust the first time text disappears. This update improves the transitions where loss...
