Introduction

The purpose of this project was originally to help myself with taking notes for classes that uses Kanopy.

It creates a user interface that aloows taking notes and timestamps easily.

If you are done using it, you can reload the page or navigate away - it will also clear it from memory.

It started out as a simple, 1 button feature, which then expanded to what you see now. I have decided to make it available, in hopes that it would help others just as much as it helped me!

How to Start

1. Copy the code you see in NoteUtility.js

2. Navitage to the Desktop version of Kanopy

3. Open the Movie Title you want to watch

4. Once the page fully loaded, press F12 or Ctrl(Cmd)+Shift+I to open Developer Tools

5. Navigate to Console tab. If it is not visiBle, you might need to click the » icon to the right and select it from the list, you can press the Trashcan icon left to Filter Input to clear things up

6. Paste it into the Console, just after the big »

7. Press enter - this will load the Utility

8. You should see the controls appear below the Video Player

9. Press F12 or Ctrl(Cmd)+Shift+I again to close the Developer Tools window
