HTML Notepad for Rise

Hi, here’s a single-file HTML note editor for ‘Rise’ that:

  • Is transparent (Rise controls the block background),
  • Persists one “main” note across all lessons by default (same file/origin),
  • Let’s the learner manually start a brand-new unique note with a button,
  • And lets them switch between notes later (so they don’t lose the previous one).

How it behaves

  • Global by default: Everyone starts on a single “Main note” (main) that persists across all lessons (since it’s the same file/origin).
  • Start New Note: Clicking the button creates a brand-new unique note (timestamp+random ID), switches to it, and saves independently.
  • Switch back anytime: Use the dropdown to switch between notes you’ve created. Each version is stored separately in localStorage.
  • Safety: Nothing is deleted; each note keeps its own content.

This keeps a default “one perpetual note across lessons” behaviour, while giving learners (or you) a simple manual way to branch to a fresh, unique note whenever needed.

Instructions: just copy the code in the Word file below and paste into a Rise ‘Code Block’.

If you find it useful, let me know.

    Thank you JoeDey​ for sharing this! 
    One question, what actually saved means. Where are the notes stored? Should they be downloaded by the user at the end of the course? Are they automatically saved? Please share some ideas you have about exporting the notes as Rise Default Notetaker is not ideal for Practicing Courses.
