Heath (Laryngectomee.eth) (ID: 000000e3f6490d9d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/26/2022 Looked promising until I saw the limits on the free plan. I'll stick with SaveCode (https://thiscodeworks.com) since it's free and just as good, if not better. Just waiting on their Firefox extension because I use multiple browsers and I was hoping this would fill the void or even replace it. But not a chance. Grepper is also another free option for those interested. Maybe if it was free for students and teachers, but there was no student discount available when I asked. One thing that could make this worthy of say, maybe $3/month, is if it auto-detected the language of the saved code.

Ł Pochron (ID: 000000953f57243a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/24/2019 It is a very good quality extension although the free version is a bit limited and the plans are not overly affordable. Well planned and executed app but some of you may prefer to write your own.
