Retain – I can finally navigate while viewing/managing my tasks.

Hacker News

Hello HN, I had an idea once to write an app that helps me remember about tasks that I need to finish throughout the day. I've tried so many reminder apps on my phone but I keep ignoring the notifications or forgetting that i even installed the app. I needed something that is directly in front of my laptop, just like slapping sticky notes on my monitor. However, most sticky notes web extensions have the same design, which consumes lots of space and the notes are not persistent in all navigator tabs. I needed to make a tasks/notes manager that is: - Does not consume a lot of space (notes can be minimized or expanded). - Appears on every web page consistently. Now i wanna share it with you :) Feel free to add your feedback or any kind of features that helps. Repo: https://github.com/Achref-Yak/Retain
