I think this tool has incredible potential. I JUST WISH IT WOULD WORK CONSISTENTLY. The time it saves me in manually updating my css is lost in trying to debug why my stylesheets aren't loading half the time :(

1日使用して失敗したので二度と犠牲者を出さないためにレビューします。 2021年4月MAC Bigsurにて使用しました。コンセプトはとても良いものだと思います。しかし、仕事で利用するのは絶対にやめた方が良いです。書いたCSSが消えることは日常茶飯事でおまけにまともに反映されません。プロパティの値を更新するとDeveloperツールに反映されないことが頻発し、コメントアウトとコメントアウト解除をすると反映されます。挙句の果てには過去のバージョンと思わしき謎のスタイルシートを読み込みはじめ、収拾がつかなくなりました。とにかく動作が不安定すぎて信頼性のかけらもありません。古いPCなどでは動くかもしれませんが、最新のChromeと最新のmacOSで使用するのはおすすめしません。 3時間くらい吹っ飛びました。
