Currently, notes are kept in storage.sync only, which is overwritten each time Firefox Sync does its thing. This can potentially result in partial data loss if, for instance, a note is added before Firefox syncs the latest data.
To solve this, my plan is as follows:
Convert notes into objects with the following properties:
content: The content of the note
modified: A timestamp of the last time the note was changed
Save notes to and read from storage.local
Copy from local -> sync
Whenever storage.sync changes, compare timestamps of each note, create a new object with the most recent notes, then update both local and sync
Since this will require migrating note objects to a new format that will break backward compatibility, it's better suited for a larger release, and most certainly after #26 has been resolved.
