Tristan Cremer (ID: 000000b85d6f3898) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/25/2022 Nice, just add a way where we can drop cats onto things on screen. Like if the extension detects text on screen and you drag and drop a cat onto it the cat will sit on the top of the text. (I want to make racetracks using ascii characters)
