Keep Your Notes Connected to the Websites You Use

I often found myself switching between my browser and note-taking apps just to save ideas, remember tasks, or keep track of information from different websites.

I wanted something simpler, where I could take notes directly in my browser and easily find them later. That's why my team and I created HMDIA Note, a browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.

What Can You Do with HMDIA Note?

Global, Domain & Page Notes: Organize notes across all websites, individual domains, or specific pages.
Flexible Workspace: Use a popup, sidebar, movable window, or sticky notes with light and dark themes.
Rich-Text Editor: Format text, add links, create lists, and manage interactive checklists.
Smart Reminders: Set one-time or recurring reminders with browser notifications.
Advanced Search & Filters: Quickly find notes using search, filters, and Table or Gallery views.
Note Management: Pin important notes, save drafts, and organize notes with Archive and Trash.
Privacy & Backups: Password-protect notes and import or export encrypted backups.
Color Picker: Capture colors directly from webpages.

HMDIA Note is free to use, with local note storage and no account required.

For those who need more, Premium includes colored tags, advanced appearance customization, and automatic encrypted synchronization through your own Google Drive account.

Premium is available with a one-time payment and lifetime access, with no recurring subscription fees.

Building a Better WordPress Login Experience

I’m Hamed, the developer behind HMDIA Login & Registration, a WordPress plugin for creating custom login, registration, password reset and account pages.

The goal is to make these pages feel like part of your website, while giving administrators control over registration, authentication and user access.

Here’s a look at what it does and how to get started.

Customize the forms your users interact with

The form builder lets you configure fields, change their order and preview the result. You can adjust the design to match your website and customize the account experience alongside your login and registration forms.

Email templates are customizable too, including verification messages, password resets and administrator notifications.

Choose how users register and sign in

Different websites need different registration workflows. Some allow users to register immediately, while others need email verification or administrator approval.

HMDIA Login & Registration provides options for those workflows, along with authentication methods across its free and Pro versions:

Email and password.
Passwordless sign-in using email codes or magic links.
Passkeys and Google Sign-In.
Two-factor authentication.

Spam protection options include Cloudflare Turnstile, Google reCAPTCHA and honeypots.

Getting started

Install the free plugin from WordPress.org and activate it.
Run the setup wizard and configure your login, registration, password reset and account pages.
Open Forms to customize the fields and appearance.
Open Emails to personalize your email templates.
Review your authentication and registration settings.
Test the complete experience with a separate user account, including registration, sign-in and password reset.

When testing, check the forms on mobile as well as desktop, confirm that verification emails arrive, and make sure redirects lead to the intended pages.

Free and Pro options

The plugin runs on your own WordPress installation. A free version is available, with a Pro add-on for additional authentication and customization features.

I’d welcome feedback from other WordPress developers and website owners. What causes the most friction in your login or registration workflow?
