Is Advanced Notepad safe?

Medium risk

Advanced Notepad backs up saved notes to JSONBin with hardcoded keys that can read backups by ID.

When the user clicks backup, the extension sends all local note storage except its internal backup markers to api.jsonbin.io. Its restore code includes a JSONBin read key and fetches any supplied backup ID, so someone with a backup ID can retrieve the backed-up notes outside the extension.
