Really like the features and slickness, but cant really trust this if it isnt open source, I dont understand, all your other extensions are open source, why not this one? Id appreciate a dark mode for notes, when I try to user script hack them in it feels like I only get thrown stones in my way

Thank you for your extension, it's the best one I could find for Firefox. Though it has a few bugs. I will change my review if they're fixed. I can't enable or disable Markdown in the settings. I write something with new lines, then refresh page and then I see a mess in a note without new lines. I can write with Markdown rules but it's annoying I can't control it. When I am on the page and create a note - Markdown is off, when I refresh the page - Markdown is always on. I just need a simplest text note with a few new lines without paddings and formattings. The other problem when url has additional symbol "site/page" and "site/page/". It's ok I can edit the note on the page for both urls, but I can't edit it when I click the icon of the extension when the url is not exact. It would be nice if you have a github page for reports. Maybe someone would help to fix the issues. And for a feature request, it would be nice to have an option for default sizes. It's too wide for my purposes.
