Thank you 🎐

I would appreciate to be able to buy an independent upgrade of note with better options for background image and text options (position, floating, underline, etc, cute bold with white inside)…

Doesn’t seem to work no matter what theme I use.
(update) Not what I was looking for, the app does seem to work but not the way I thought. Changed rating. Sorry about that.
What would be really cool is an app where you could change the content right from the page if you’re logged in as the admin. So you don’t have to go through the dashboard
WOW

This is great, really groundbreaking. Keep developing this… and you will put WIX, etc out of business.
Really good despite some issues
by Luis Martins·10 years ago·3 replies
This is a really cool widget that shows the power of the customizer. I had, and still have a couple of issues though. Sometimes the widgets loses it’s contents when the customizer refreshes the page. This have improved since the first releases but haven’t yet been totally mitigated.
Once that is resolved, will update my review to 5 stars.
Other than that, really nice plugin.
UPDATE: Since 4.2 it seems the sync issues have disappeared, so im updating my review to 5 stars.
clients are happy with the results

I used note to create an area for managing schedule changes due to inclement weather on several client websites and each wrote me that they find it easy to manage and effective.
