A great app, makes bracket action tags easy and html error free. I have a friend who uses the imgur icon function and since we both have the tools app her imgur icon perfectly replaces the DW icon. She functionally has unlimited icons on a free account with no visual difference between hers and a paid account at all. (But...only if the person viewing her tags also has the tools app. So it's good for characters used in PSLs, not so great for games.)

I'm not sure what happened recently with Chrome or Dreamwidth but as of today it's stopped working. I have no buttons on the reply boxes and the next page of comments doesn't load.

It was great, but the buttons stopped showing up with the last Windows update.
