Better Note-Taking for the Modern Web

## The Problem with Traditional Note-Taking

Traditional note-taking apps force you to leave the context where you found information. You're watching an educational video, reading an article, or browsing research — and suddenly you need to switch apps, lose your place, and try to remember exactly what you wanted to capture.

The context is lost. The moment is gone.

Capturing Ideas in Context

Melons solves this by letting you annotate directly on the content you're consuming. Whether it's a YouTube video or a web page, your notes stay exactly where you found the information.

This isn't just convenient — it's transformative for how we learn and remember.

Why Context Matters

When you review your notes later, seeing them in their original context triggers stronger memory recall. You remember not just what you wrote, but where you were, what you were watching, and why it mattered to you in that moment.

Building for Privacy

Most note-taking tools sync everything to the cloud, analyze your data, and use it for their own purposes. Melons is different.

Your annotations are stored locally by default. They're private. They're yours.

This isn't just a feature — it's a philosophy. Your thoughts, ideas, and moments of insight shouldn't be someone else's data to mine.

The Future of Personal Knowledge

As we consume more information online, we need better tools to capture and organize what matters. Tools that respect our privacy, stay out of our way, and simply help us remember.

That's what I'm building with Melons.
