Sayed Murtadha Ahmed (ID: 000000b9db02ab5f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/22/2023 Buggy! Most of the time it does not even start and sometimes breaks the layout.

Justin Gulati (ID: 00000085c9fa831f) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/10/2023 Bug + Update request Hey, this is a great toolkit for debugging tailwindcss issues. 8/10. Note to Developer: Can you please update this plugin to make it so that the text-wraps when shrinkng the dev tool panel? I'm working on a macbook air with limited screen space and the. text doesn't wrap, so I have to open the plugin full screen to see all the classes sometimes and go back and forth shrinking the panel and opening it again to check a box or change a value.

Sven Wolf (ID: 000000ad19d2de6b) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/29/2022 Requires a paid license. Link to website is dead though – so even if you wanted to get a license, you just can't!

Sergio Vazquez II (ID: 00000014874f7ea3) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/30/2022 ABANDONWARE - Requires a LICENSE, but clicking BUY NOW leads to a DEAD domain. Either way, total bait and switch BS.

Chad Horany (ID: 000000b9ea69d1db) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/05/2022 When I tried to use this it asked me for License key and offered to purchase. Without doing so it's useless and does not function.
