See private notes on saved posts

I would support this feature request, but… with everything that is happening at SE right now, I don't know if this would get done soon.

That said, it might be possible to do this with a userscript. Unfortunately, I don't see an obvious API path for it. Regardless, it's likely possible by looking at how the "real" Saves page gets them, and make a similar API call.

Having this feature could be useful for me, so I might further investigate making a userscript for this when I have a chance (if so, I’ll update this).

Update: Unfortunately, I don't see an API endpoint for Saves. We could request one on stackapps, but there isn't one now. Still, it's possible to fetch the saves by fetching the entire Saves page and parsing the DOM, and I show that below.

Warning: this fetches the DOM every time you load a page. A better approach is probably to cache it somehow, but this is a decent starting point if I (or someone else) finish it later.
