Sergio Vazquez II (ID: 00000014874f7ea3) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/30/2022 OBSOLETE - Doesn't support autocomplete, so you need to memorize ALL 137,000+ class names if you want to actually use it. Also doesn't support JIT, so 99% of the classes WON'T WORK.

Alexio Vay (ID: 000000c5a94dd2a5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/21/2021 It's very helpful! Please keep on working on it :) Maybe implement a feature that classes you just tried out persists even after a refresh?

David Lapointe Gilbert (ID: 000000115061861f) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/06/2020 There's a ".cls" button in the Elements pane of the developer tools that does exactly the same: a list of classes that you can uncheck and add new ones. Having them clearly visible in a different pane can be good, but I thought this extension would at least give auto completion. I'd love autocompletion plus maybe a small description fetched from the official docs to display on the side. 🤔
