User Reviews

Excellent. Simple, useful, does exactly what I need.

Really great! It's a breath of fresh air, compared to the competition. I tried several "serious" code expanders, all very complicated, fragile and not really offering more than Yet Another Text Expander. Congratlations! A few question: 1. is YATE also available for other browsers? 2. When using the TAB key option, there is no need to warn a snippet is overlapping another. It can then be safely saved. This would make snippets simpler: no need to add things like "/, :,<, etc..." 3. would it be possible to add "{{clipboard}}"? That would be an awesome addition. imagine something like this: <a href="{{clipboard}}">{{cursor}}</a>! I saw this in Espanso...It could be a amazing time saver.. Advantage of being a layman: just ask, leave the head ache to the developer! Gratefully, Bert
