- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16569904, 4 years agoSiempre que uso esta extension, escribo todo pero, después de una semana, se me borra todo y no hay manera de recuperar lo que escribí.
- Rated 4 out of 5by kingpizza, 4 years agoI transitioned from Chrome and am using The Board as a replacement for Papier.
It works great, but be wary of having 2 or more Board tabs open - if you scribble different notes on different tabs, they don't necessarily sync with one another. It would be very useful if a change made on one tab would immediately appear on another open tab. Otherwise, there's the risk that all of your notes won't be recorded (this has caused me a lot of pain!).
Also, the text formatting pop-up is a bit annoying, but that's tolerable. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14956528, 6 years agoAfter switching from Chrome on firefox, I was looking for a replacement for the "Papier" extension, I found only one similar - Board.
At first I was satisfied, It worked without problems. But after one of the next update Firefox I saw with horror that all my text was gone, the default text is only displayed. I thought it was a one-time glitch and continued to use, but a month later I ran into the same problem!
Now I can not trust this extension. I can not understand why this happens. Other installed add-ons don't lose data when updating the browser. I tried to find the file where the text is stored, I realized that the data is stored in localStorage and found database (AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\***.default\webappsstore.sqlite), but there was only new text.
Dear developer, I'm not sure it's your fault, maybe Firefox, but please, can solve this problem?
P.S Sorry for my bad English. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14623293, 6 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14207173, 6 years agoCada que se actualiza la aplicación me borra todo, y tengo que volver a esperar mis recibos para volver a anotar las fechas, es muy fastidioso eso
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14155409, 6 years agoPor fin una extensión de pestaña nueva sin añadidos superficiales como la hora, la información del tiempo o fondos de pantalla de embarcaderos cochambrosos.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 11101820, 7 years agoSimple and does what it says. Very useful in jotting down your thoughts, reminders and to-do lists. Keep up the good work!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13678151, 7 years agoExcellent and nice work.Perfect substitute of Papier when migrating from Chrome.
As other people commented, my only minor "con" is the sometimes intrusive floating popup. I agree with previous suggestions: an option for it to be toggle off or stuck in a corner, or to make if float to the left of the text.
Another suggestion: word and character counters (but the addons is perfectly fine without this). - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13676255, 7 years agoI used to use Papier for Chrome and really loved it. I switched to Firefox and was stoked to find Board, which is almost the same. My only feedback (and key to a 5-star review wink wink) would be that the text formatting pop-up obscures the text line above and is annoying. I often create blank lines below so I can click into one so the text formatting pop-up is out of the way, but I'd much rather have formatting to be placed somewhere else on the page or to the left of the current line.
It would also be amazing if Board could sync with all my Firefox browsers. I could scribble on Board on one of my computers, and my notes would appear on any of my other computers that have Firefox synced. Even if syncing had to be initiated with a save button (to avoid the logistical nightmare of multiple users trying to write to the same board) would be okay.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks for review, and the problem indeed is legit, its just in progress, may be soon it will be in production :) - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13573152, 7 years agoWould like to use Board but my notes disappear after restarting Firefox. Any idea why this might happen?
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13497410, 7 years agoReally awesome extensions, sometimes the text formatting pop-up can be intrusive/obscure information I'm viewing.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Grand, 7 years agoSame as Papier on Chrome. Would be great if you added a dark mode option!!!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13453709, 7 years agoJust like Papier on Chrome, but more like upgraded version and it is on Firefox
- Rated 5 out of 5by Naved, 7 years agoThe new tab loads almost instantaneously, and the functionality is solid. Just a nitpick is that the floating formatting bar does block a lot of content. Maybe that could be turned off, and only keyboard shortcuts are used instead?

posted 7 years agoThats a really good idea, I will try to put toggle formatting bar option in next release :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Ray., 7 years agoMoved from Chrome and was just wishing I had this in Firefox! Like the formatting popup.
Would it be possible to switch between the default new tab that shows top sites and Pocket news, and Board?Developer response
posted 7 years agoRIght now the APIs are still in progress to achieve the "switch" part, but for time being, you can temporarily disable addon when you want to use pocket and top sites. Hope that helps.
