3 months after launching ClipMargin: what shipped, and help me pick what comes next
In April I posted here about launching ClipMargin, my Chrome extension for taking timestamped notes on videos. Back then it worked on YouTube only. Update on what happened since, and a question at the end.
What shipped in 3 months: five more platforms (Udemy, Vimeo, Skillshare, Dometrain, Instagram), plus a right click option that works on any site with a video. A web app library with full text search, tags, and collections. Markdown export. A welcome page after install, because I learned the hard way that installs are not users: people installed and never found the first step.
What I learned: one engaged beta user beats any analytics. A single user gave me a platform wishlist and a stream of real issues. Vimeo, Skillshare, and Instagram all came from that one person's requests.
Where it honestly stands: solo, small user base, still beta with bugs here and there that I fix the same day I find them, free with no limits.
Now the question. I am picking what it grows into, and I would love input from people who have faced this fork. On my table:
More platforms, going where people actually watch and learn.
A no account mode, so you can take notes before signing in. Lower barrier to try it.
A Notion integration, sending notes straight into Notion instead of exporting Markdown.
Which would you pick first, and why? And honestly: would you use something like this yourself? If yes, what for. If no, what is missing. Both answers help me.
