Addison Moore (ID: 0000007238b7a420) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/08/2020 Awesome extension! Just lost all my snippets from Chrome on my old computer. Wish I'd had this before. Reading through some of the older reviews it seems these issues have been fixed (Github integration, ES6 linting).

Kamil Kriho (ID: 00000067957729e9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/23/2020 Super. Konecne nieco, kde sa scripty automaticky zdielaju medzi zariadeniami.

Jarrod Whitley (ID: 00000073a34156a1) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/28/2020 Might be cool if it worked... When I try to save my token I get the error "Failed to load snippets. The gist ID xxxxxxxxxxxxx doesn't seem to exist. I've tried multiple times with different tokens. No dice, oh well.

SORE THUMB DEV (ID: 0000004ebc7e6cd6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/03/2019 A great replacement to the jsShell extension. It's core feature (to me) is similar to something I was already working on - a jsShell extension that synced with your Google account data -- only BETTER. I like the idea of the Gist for sharing and just generally usability amongst developers. Nicely done! ** ...but, yes, would be nice to change Theme elements (i.e. font size in the editor, Snippet List, etc.) ;) I created a pull request with a simple font-size option in the settings.
