  • Super for custom code embeds

    Good module for custom code embeds from CodePen.

  • Great tutorial tool

    I write web development tutorials in my blog and have tried many syntax highlighter options for code snippets in the past. I recently decided to give Codepen a try and this plugin is surely the best way to embed and configure those!
