Must have!

Very nice extension! Easy to use and very straight to the point ! It is what we needed here to start to talk about flow metrics! Sometimes it fails to load, however, if you restart the browser, it tends to work again. Another thing that might help: don't open more than 1 view at the same time and once you opened and it worked, don't close it.

I think I would have loved it if it had ever worked. It just simply never did anything but say it had access to my site. Is there a hidden trick to fire this up? I looked at kanban boards, backlogs, scrum boards... I tried on page url, on click... I really don't see where things are going wrong.
