Notely — Annotate the web
About Notely
Background
If you are like me you look at hundreds of web pages every day. If so haven't you sometimes felt like you just wanted to sketch down a note about the page really quick?
Sometimes it's because you are reviewing the page for some client. Or sometimes you just want to take a note related to a specific web page so that you keep your busy mind together when researching something.
I really felt the need of some kind of tool, so I tried a lot of different tools.
Story behind Notely
I didn't really fall in love with any of the tools I found. Some tools makes it possible to grab the page from the browser and then annotate it. But then you leave the browser where you spend the most of your time.
Other tools made it possible to add notes within the page, but then they where in the way when you didn't want to see them. Because of these reasons I created Notely as a small weekend project.
But the story doesn't stop here, now I want you to help me to improve Notely so it fits your needs as well. I develop Notely on my spare time so if you like it please help me out with a small donation or help me out at GitHub.
