CraftyText Extension

**Only works on top of web pages, so first load a webpage like www.google.com then click the CT in the extensions bar**

CraftyText is a simple app. It allows you to enter text, which then shows up big in the center of the screen. It works on top of your favorite website. Note: no data are transmitted to the developers. The permissions requested are due to the fact that it works on top of whatever website you're browsing.

**UPDATED!** Added a Display button next to the Shorten button.

You can now shorten URL's easily with CraftyText! Paste the URL into the CraftyText window, click Shorten, and wait a moment and watch the magic!

Rogerio M. Souza (ID: 000000ad064aee15) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/24/2021 Great extension. I have been using it for many years! It could be more customizable (colors, persistence, etc.), but it was still very well developed. ----------------------------------------------- Ótima extensão. Uso há muitos anos! Poderia ser mais customizável (cores, persistência, etc.), mas mesmo assim foi muito bem desenvolvida.

Anu Jhamb (ID: 00000032ae6bdc6c) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/26/2018 Crafty Text is not working. I have used it in the past and it has always worked well, but now it's not.

sofia cangemi (ID: 000000dcf43fbe6c) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/24/2018 It would not even open. How do you expect me, to give you a good review, if you can't program it properly for the computer to be able to actually open it. Not trying to be rude, but just stating my opinion on the extension.
