Josh Kasap (ID: 000000d0e96cb03b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/06/2023 Very good, always room for improvement, a search option in particular would be really nice as sometimes it's hard to remember where certain properties are. But overall very helpful and greatly reduces trial and error testing different styles.
