Hi 👋

Thanks for your contribution 🔥

It looks a bit like https://www.raycast.com/k41531/snap-jot - could that work for you?

[mushroom528]

Thank you for reviewing my contribution! 👋

I've looked at Snap Jot, and while it serves similar purposes, my extension takes a fundamentally different approach:

1. Storage Architecture: Instead of file-based storage, my extension uses LocalStorage, providing a seamless in-app experience without file management overhead. This makes it ideal for users who prefer keeping their memos within Raycast's ecosystem.

2. Different Use Case: While Snap Jot excels at quick file-based note-taking, my extension focuses on providing an integrated memo management experience entirely within Raycast.

Additionally, I have plans to enhance the extension with more features in the future:

• Tag support for better memo organization and filtering
• Import/Export functionality for data backup and migration between devices

Looking forward to your thoughts on this! 🙌

Hi 👋

Thanks for your contribution 💪

I have now tested your extension, and I have some feedback ready for you:

I can't get it to save tags, can you look into that?

I'm looking forward to testing this extension again 🔥

Request a new review when you are ready. Feel free to contact me here or at Slack if you have any questions.

[mushroom528]

Thank you for testing the extension! 🙏

I apologize for any confusion - I should have been clearer in my previous message. The tag support is actually part of my future development plans, not a current feature. 🚀

The current version focuses on the core memo management functionality using LocalStorage. Here's what's currently implemented:

• Basic memo creation and management
• In-app storage system
• Seamless Raycast integration

Would you like me to proceed with the review of the current functionality? I'd be happy to clarify any other aspects of the extension. 💪

Looking forward to your feedback! ⚡️

[pernielsentikaer]

If it's not working at the moment and you want to add it later, we should remove it until then to avoid confusion.

[mushroom528]

I sincerely apologize for the oversight.

You're absolutely right - I accidentally left the tag feature in the code while it wasn't fully implemented yet. I've now removed it to avoid confusion and pushed a new version that reflects the current core functionality correctly. Would you mind testing the updated version?

Thank you for your patience and thorough review!

[pernielsentikaer]

Much better 🔥

A few things:

• You could consider adding an action to “Delete All Memos” with a [confirmAlert](https://developers.raycast.com/api-reference/feedback/alert#confirmalert)
• You can use [showFailureToast](https://developers.raycast.com/utilities/functions/showfailuretoast#signature) for errors
• Consider using new Date(memo.updatedAt).toLocaleString() instead for listing dates

[mushroom528]

I've implemented all the suggested improvements!

Changes made:

• Added "Delete All Memos" action with confirmAlert for safety
• Updated error handling to use showFailureToast
• Improved date formatting with toLocaleString()

Would you mind reviewing the updated version?

Thank you again for your helpful suggestions! 🙌

We actually have a similar extension in the store which actually does the job pretty good: https://www.raycast.com/biknandy/quick-notes

Did you see that one?

[mushroom528]

Thank you for pointing this out! You're right - I've looked at Quick Notes and it does provide similar functionality to my extension. Since it already serves the use case well, I think it makes more sense to avoid duplicating effort.

Would you recommend I close my PR and perhaps contribute to Quick Notes instead if I have ideas for improvements? 🤔

Thank you for your time and guidance throughout this review process! 🙏
