Description
Feature Request: Video Bookmarking (Save Timestamps with Notes)
Description
Allow users to bookmark specific timestamps in YouTube videos with optional notes — great for tutorials, lectures, and long-form content.
Why
- TubeInsights (GreasyFork) — "smart bookmarking" as headline feature
- TurboNote — time-stamped note-taking for YouTube
- yt-url-at-time (GreasyFork) — copy URL at current timestamp
Preferred behavior
- Bookmark button during playback
- Save timestamp + optional note label
- Bookmark list panel (accessible from player or sidebar)
- Click bookmark to seek to that time
- Export bookmarks as text/CSV
- Per-video bookmark storage in localStorage
- Optional: sync across devices

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing playback controls and per-video storage in the extension, then define how bookmark creation, listing, seeking, and text/CSV export fit together. Done means timestamps and optional notes can be saved per video, revisited from the UI, and exported; cross-device sync is explicitly optional.
