About Us

YellowNotes for the Cloud is developed by Browser Solutions AS, an Oslo-based venture led by software developer and consultant Lars Reinertsen.

our mission

The internet wasn’t built with margins. For thirty years, we’ve been forced to consume, annotate, and share web content inside rigid comment sections, proprietary social silos, or chaotic bookmark folders. YellowNotes is breaking open the web. We are building a permissionless, spatial layer over the entire internet—turning every URL on earth into an open canvas.

In 1977, 3M liberated physical paper by creating the Post-it note. Thoughts no longer needed to be permanently printed on a page; they could live anywhere. We’re taking that brilliant, lightweight freedom and unleashing it across the modern web—minus the adhesive loss.

Human Judgement

Bring human judgment to bear over algorithimc decisions. Machines now decide what people see on the internet. Machines decide what answer you get out of an AI chat bot. Algorithms steer people to content generated by other algorithms.

We want to overturn that.

Zero Lost Context

Ever find a mystery note on your desk and wonder what it was for? Web bookmarks suffer the same fate. Every YellowNote features a dedicated Go-Home engine. One click teleports you directly back to the exact URL, paragraph, and highlighted sentence where the thought was born, rendering the note right in place.

Precision Communication

Stop sending colleagues 5,000-word articles with a text saying "read section three." Drop a YellowNote on the exact sentence that matters, fire off the link, and let your recipient jump straight to the point with the key passage automatically highlighted.

True Platform Independence

YellowNotes live in their own infrastructure. They float above the web without touching or altering the host site's code. That means no web master can censor your insights, no paywall can erase your context, and no platform algorithm can dictate who sees your work. It is an independent, raw mode of web publishing.

Leapfrogging the Aggregators

Big tech aggregators and AI scrapers have built empires by stripping content from original creators, keeping users trapped inside search results and social feeds. YellowNotes flips the script. By tethering notes directly to original web pages, we bypass the middleman algorithms entirely—driving traffic back to primary sources and re-establishing a direct, uninterrupted line between creators and their readers.

We aren't just digitizing sticky notes. We’re giving the web back its margins—and giving users the freedom to leave their mark anywhere.
