Fukidashi

Add comments and notes to any web page

Fukidashi turns any web page into something you can write on. Select text, highlight it in one of five colors, and attach a note — the next time you open the page, your highlights and notes are right where you left them. "Fukidashi" is Japanese for speech bubble: hover over a highlight and your note pops up in one. HOW IT WORKS 1. Select text on any page — a small toolbar appears. 2. Pick a color to highlight the selection, or choose "Add note" to write a memo. 3. Hover a highlight to read its note; click to pin the bubble open, edit, or delete. FEATURES • Five highlight colors — yellow, green, blue, pink and purple • Notes come back — every annotation is stored per page and redrawn on your next visit, including single-page apps that change the URL without reloading • Page overview — the popup lists the current page's notes in reading order; click one to scroll straight to it and open its bubble • Your whole library — the popup's second tab collects every annotated page, grouped by site; jump back to any page, or straight to a single note • Works with Google Translate — a page opened through Google Translate counts as the same page, so notes taken on either version share one list and highlights survive the translated text • One switch to pause — turn highlights and bubbles off everywhere without touching your stored notes PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no server, no sign-up — notes are saved in your browser's local storage and never leave your device • No tracking, no analytics — nothing you write ever leaves your device • Minimal permissions: "storage" to save your notes and "activeTab" so the popup can talk to the page you are on GOOD TO KNOW • Notes stay on this device; they are not synced between machines • Text inside iframes and inside a page's own shadow DOM cannot be annotated • If a page rewrites the text a note was attached to, the highlight disappears until that text comes back; the note itself stays listed in the popup
