User reviews

Since I couldn't open another window just to make reviews, comments, and posts and I couldn't be bothered typing each tag (which is horrifying tiring and confusing), this extension is a life-saver. Thank you!!!

The implementation works as of today July 2021. But it has not aged well, the screenshots on the extension are rather confusing as they're not high resolution. On my screen it shows BBcode formatting options under "more discussion" tab. You can only apply quick formatting to a new reply which is another issue I have with the extension kinda unfortunate. The advertised selected-text option does work in a new reply and you can add formatting to a sentence or even paragraph to your fully hearts desire. But it's missing some formatting options it does not have HR (Horizontal rule) and table besides that this addon gives users a more rich text approach to writing comments in Steam Discussions. Though sarcasm, off-topic aren't real ones and are more for giggles for the developer then actually being useful for the user. If a user really wanted to ebelish sarcasm I think the internet unified itself across forums of the usage /s and OT but that's just my opinion. Instead of using fictional bb tags that might confuse people. Also thanks to the developer(s) for including a changelog inside the description but if you update to 1.7 and don't tell anyone what you did this is not as transparent as you think anymore. I rather suggest you use somekind of git portal (gitea, gitlab, github) where you can upload your changes and keep the users informed about your code. If you wanna be more transparent about your projects.
