What people liked
Like button design is slick and unobtrusive.
From 2 comments

Bookmarklet instead of extension.
From 1 comment
Is it possible to get a bookmarklet instead of a browser extension?

Better search with partial matching.
From 1 comment

Questions
How is client-side encryption handled?
From 1 comment
Looks cool! What client-side encryption methods are you using to keep data private before it goes to the servers? Also, how are you generating the encryption keys?
