I’m really surprised you’re recommending this plugin given that it’s appears to be an enormous security risk.
ANYONE can see your notes, they just have to type in your ID. For example, see for yourself:
XML version:
https://ga-notes.appspot.com/notes.xml?pid=7315612
CSV version:
https://ga-notes.appspot.com/notes.csv?pid=7315612
They claim it’s “secured so only you can see” and “encrypted”, but it’s obviously not.
I posted this concern on their blog and the comment was deleted.

the toilet paper link is great. I saw an in depth physics write-up about the same. Over is inherently easier to use.
