Hi!

Thanks for the reply! I think adding GitHub and maybe LinkedIn links to your website would help establish a greater degree of trust. And please don't take it personally. It is just that given the high number of extensions stealing your data, I default to not trusting them.

Regarding Google Drive, the Google pop-up says:

"Select what BrainTool can access

- Associate you with your personal info on Google

- See your personal info, including any personal info you've made publicly available

- See your primary Google Account email address

- See, edit, create, and delete only the specific Google Drive files you use with this app."

The first three options cannot be unchecked and the last option needs to be selected for the integration to work. I don't know if it would be possible to require only the last option, but it would certainly make me more comfortable using BrainTool.

Otherwise, BrainTool looks great!




No offense taken, I completely understand and this is the kind of feedback I'm looking for!

The first version of BrainTool required the Google Drive integration to work and I quickly found that it was a barrier to adoption for some people and so made it optional. Unfortunately the first 3 popup items are not controllable by me. I am planning to add a local file integration option to avoid this altogether.
