Augmented Steam: Game Notes not saving?

[Challak]

Is anyone else suddenly having issues with game notes saving? I had no issue with this for months but lately, it never works. This is a HUGELY helpful feature for me, can anyone lend support?

Repro steps:
- Load a game page on Steam Store
- Click Add a Note
- Type any note
- Click Save
- The note WILL appear on the game's page
- Reload the page (either press reload, or search for in the store, or even find it on your wishlist)
- The note will be gone :(

Hey, could you estimate how many game notes you have saved in total?
Because with the current method we're using, there are storage limitations

Oh boy. I honestly wouldn't put much stock in my estimate, I've recently been adding it to almost anything I add to my wishlist lately, as it helps a LOT in quickly scanning wishlist (and game store) for any thoughts tied to buy/don't buy decisions.

So I can definitely see limited storage ending with this for me. Easily dozens of entries.

Problem with the current approach is that we use Chrome's/FF' synced storage, i.e. if you're logged in to a Google / Mozilla account, it's getting synced to the cloud.
We were already switching to a local storage approach for user notes, but this may have caused confusion for some users, as they will notice that everything but their notes is synced, so we reverted

I *think* you should have more storage if you disable extension sync in your browser settings, but I can't decide whether you want to make this sacrifice.
We're definitely looking for a solution to this problem

Thanks for helping identify the issue, and for looking into future options!

I came across this thread because I was also trying to add notes to my wishlist games and saw most vanished. I'm just curious how the 'storage limitations' affect things. Like, from how I see it right now, it's more like the note is just not being saved as opposed to having too many for storage. Like, if I add a new note, an old one doesn't disappear, you know? Rather, I just have to keep adding the new note until it persists. Perhaps it's an issue of both and I just haven't reached the limit yet who knows (I've maybe got 20-30 notes rn but 400ish wishlist games I'd like to add notes for), but knowing that it's not saving well makes me way more paranoid about using this method to save info than a limitation does. Is there any news or updates for this issue yet?

We're trying to give the user the option to save their user notes on the ITAD server or locally, which I'm currently working on
