Bence Hornyák (ID: 000000c5e59f5a7b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/18/2022 Great tool! Looking forward to contribute more and more as a developer to the tool :) Some years ago I really missed a tool like this, now its here, let's make it even better together.

Jester j (ID: 000000d4b080c39d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/05/2022 Installed just this morning, only toyed with it a little so far but can easily see it'll be helpful in a few projects I currently am working on. The developer is actively engaged and dedicated to the progress of this extension, replying to my issue a mere hour after I posted it on a weekend. Looking forward to seeing how far this extension can go and hoping it's a mainstay of my developer chrome profile since it will hopefully be useful enough to stay installed long term.
