Brett Lamy (ID: 000000afc04682d4) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/18/2016 It's good but I was hoping for something that allowed me to fold code in the code preview vs actually editing the file.

Enis Afgan (ID: 000000342860459a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/06/2015 The goal is great but I can't really use this because all the code I come in contact with uses 4 spaces for indentation. Why not supply an option to set this?
