  • Genial, muy útil

    Es un plugin muy útil, además de los códigos personalizados, añade otras herramientas que también pueden ser útiles. No obstante, me gustaría sugerir una mejora, sería muy útil añadir una nueva columna llamada "Location" en la lista de "Code Snippets" que indique donde se está ejecutando el código, ojalá puedan añadirlo en una próxima actualización.

  • Works except for string literals

    Works, except string literals, like message = We can make change for ${totalString} with ${nickelsString} nickels and ${penniesString} pennies!; document.querySelector('#status').innerHTML = message; , display with missing whitespace. Instead of just adding my js code to the page, this plugin breaks it into some weird eval function that doesn't work with whitespace: eval(function(p, a, c, k, e, d) {
