Jason Edward (ID: 0000005214827d28) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/10/2021 I think this tool has incredible potential. I JUST WISH IT WOULD WORK CONSISTENTLY. The time it saves me in manually updating my css is lost in trying to debug why my stylesheets aren't loading half the time :(

A T (ID: 0000004b4852babc) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/14/2021 1日使用して失敗したので二度と犠牲者を出さないためにレビューします。 2021年4月MAC Bigsurにて使用しました。コンセプトはとても良いものだと思います。 しかし、仕事で利用するのは絶対にやめた方が良いです。 書いたCSSが消えることは日常茶飯事でおまけにまともに反映されません。 プロパティの値を更新するとDeveloperツールに反映されないことが頻発し、コメントアウトとコメントアウト解除をすると反映されます。 挙句の果てには過去のバージョンと思わしき謎のスタイルシートを読み込みはじめ、収拾がつかなくなりました。 とにかく動作が不安定すぎて信頼性のかけらもありません。 古いPCなどでは動くかもしれませんが、最新のChromeと最新のmacOSで使用するのはおすすめしません。 3時間くらい吹っ飛びました。

Dmitry L (ID: 000000ef115c1e3e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/07/2019 Для быстрых правок идеально подходило. Но перестал работать! Выдает "Looks like LiveStyle extension was just updated!" и не работает. Переустанавливал, чего только не делал - работать не хочет!
