Improvements

I should create a way to store the Metadata in the note. Right now, it fetches the websites every time we click on a new not, which is not optimal. Moreover, I think a 404 breaks the plugin.

Pull requests more than welcome !

Building the plugin

The plugin is built using Webpack, which creates the compiled code in /dist. A JPL archive will also be created at the root, which can use to distribute the plugin.

To build the plugin, simply run npm run dist.
