Reflect’s new Chrome Extension
At Reflect we are always thinking about speed. Note-taking needs to be at the speed of thought. Any kind of friction disrupts your flow and pulls you out of the zone.
With that in mind, I’m happy to announce our new Chrome extension. We’ve redesigned the capture flow for links and web highlights.
The new flow works like this:
  • Click the Reflect toolbar icon or press the shortcut (⌘⇧p). Your link is instantly saved to Reflect.
  • To capture highlights, simply select paragraphs. They’ll be highlighted yellow and sent to Reflect.
 
You can download the extension here.
 
Here’s a little clip of it in action:

🐦 Sync bookmarked Tweets

Our new Chrome extension gives you the option of saving your Tweets. When enabled, any Tweets you favorite or bookmark will be saved to your daily note.

🖥️ New features of the Chrome extension

  • Save a link to Reflect with a single click
  • Toggle automatic highlighting when you select text
  • Remove highlights that you’ve made on a page
  • Add custom descriptions to pages you save, including backlinks and tags.
 

📢 Other product updates

  • URL previews when hovering over links
  • Offline mode fixes for desktop, web and iPad apps
  • Other performance improvements and bug fixes (particularly around backlinks)
 

📌 Current team priorities:

  • Improve mobile app performance to preventing it crashing for larger graphs
  • Editor massaging (we’re constantly tweaking and improving it)
  • Advanced and semantic search

New Lists functionality in Reflect

We recently overhauled the entire codebase for creating and editing Lists (all 8,496 lines of it!). The previous iteration of the Lists editor was functional, but had its fair share of shortcomings. Given the importance of lists for note-taking, it's vital that they work as expected without interrupting one’s workflow. We thought we’d write up a little look into what goes behind the scenes at Reflect.
